Kindness is contagious.
I strongly believe in the power of kind words and appreciate those who have helped (and maybe even enabled me a little) in this obsession of mine.
Many thanks to:
Joseph Craig, my GGG Grandfather, it seems you are still stirring up trouble.
Lyle Harris, you really must have been unforgettable!
Andrew Miller, my husband, for entertaining my whims.
Phyllis Nicholson for being our family preservationist and catalyst.
Pat Shaw, SAPIC board member, for "listening." Thanks for all of the useful information and encouragement!
