One can accomplish little without the assistance, tutelage
and support of others. I am no exception to this rule. Many have
supported me in this project in one form or another if only to express
interest and curiosity. Following are some of those I have relied on
and received much from.
At Florida Southern College, Lynn Dennis and Terry Dennis
gave me the time and resources I needed to get the project started.
Tommy Young provided information that helped to fill in the gaps. And
Randall MacDonald was most helpful in locating and scanning the historical
images that are used throughout the site.
At Crealdé School of Art my instructors helped me develop
and hone my photographic skills, and I owe all of them my gratitude:
Peter Schreyer, Rick Lang, Milton Heiberg, and Chris Bolton. Rick Lang
provided the additional assistance of helping edit the images.
At Seminole Community College, photography instructor Tony
Cekolin got me started on the project, and Betty Porter helped me improve my
writing skills.
Last but not least, my lovely wife Sue serves as my constant
editor, proofreader, source of encouragement and best friend for which I am
eternally grateful.
