I wish to thank:

* My mother, who has always been there for me and encouraged me when I would have given up.

* My late husband, Bill, who stood by my side for 36 years and said, "If we are going to buy a camera, we are going to buy a really good one."

* My children, who put up with me, love me, tolerate me and "run" from me when they see my camera coming.

* My special friends who judge my work for me and tell me what's really good and what's not.

* Iris Greenwell, my mentor, for introducing me to photography and helping me to get started with my "A, B, C's".

* My photography instructor, Doug Henderson, who is wonderful, talented and a fantastic teacher.

* My photography friends who go with me and talk the "lingo" with me.

* The friends I have gained through BetterPhoto and the Better Photo Staff.

* And most of all to God, to whom I owe everything and who ultimately gets all of the credit.

To all of you, "Thank you" very much!
