Every time I communicate with anyone on this list, either by email or phone, I'm amazed at what friendly and trusting people these are. It's not often you find such traits in today's world. Everyone seems willing to take time out of their lives to talk to me and share any information they have to aid me in my endeavor.

Thanks to all!
