I think it is safe to say that this website would not be half of what it is now if I had embarked on this alone.   Many people have taken the time and trouble to help me with various aspects of the site, from proof reading the text to providing photographs, reprints and reviewing the site's functionality.   To these people I am eternally grateful.   I sincerely hope that I have not forgotten anyone in the list below - if I have, please don't hesitate to e-mail me and I will set the record straight.   Thanks a million to everyone who has been involved with the construction of this site, I hope you approve of it thus far.
