Personal Acknowledgements (the et al)

Accomplishments of this magnitude can only be achieved by a vast, dedicated team of people united by a desire to see something wonderful grow and develop. Some lightly touched and changed our course in so doing. Others waded all the way in – bringing heart and soul to the work. Many gave the very best they had because they, like me, love and admire Viktor and Gene Schreckengost and hope the Schreckengost legacy will continue to enrich lives and inspire imaginations for decades to come.

Here follows, in alphabetical order, those who have contributed in their own unique ways. I will be ever grateful for the difference they have made and continue to make. I hope those I happen to neglect to include will forgive me – and give me a chance to make a correction.

Again, thank you.
