Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due

Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about,
need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.

Jerome P. Fleishman

The following programmers supplied the CGI Perl scripts and C routines that I use. They did so out of the goodness of their hearts, so thanking them for their valuable contributions to my web space is the very least I can do to show my appreciation.

Randal L. Schwartz dba Stonehenge Consulting Services

Randal is a Perl programmer extraordinaire. He seems to spend more time teaching and travelling these days than cutting code, but he hacked together the Perl script I use to build a server side include log of visits to my site. I snarfed it when he posted it to teleport.support.cgi. Thanks 10e6, Randal!

Matt Wright of Matt's Script Archive

Matt provides a vast array of useful Perl scripts. I'm using his guestbook, page counter and text clock. They were easy to install and modify, and I'm very grateful to Matt for his fine efforts.

Mark W. Renton

Mark, who is a software developer at MACROSTAFF in Bellevue, WA, provided the AnyURL C program which I use to provide a forms based menu of URL's from which to select. The software was developed under contract for the TOGA-TAO project, managed by Nancy N. Soreide, at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle, WA. I am much in their debt for freeing up real estate on my web pages.

The graphics used on my pages are not mine. Most of them are in the public domain and freely available from a variety of sources on the internet. I do, however, wish to thank the following people for their imagination, talent and generosity:

Michael Erdkamp photographed our wedding and I've used some of the photos here. He did a superb job - we are greatly in his debt. If you need a professional portrait photographer, he's your man!

Randy's Icons and Images Bazaar

Compiled by: Randy D. Ralph, MLIS, Ph.D.

Randy was kind enough to take the time to give me some valuable feedback on my web page. He also designed the flower bar (flow01.gif) used on Liz's page and the Oregon State Flag gif used on the Portland page. Lastly, his site is where I snarfed the animated fish swimming on my index page. Thanks, Randy!

Pixelsight Graphics

This innovative site is the source for the home icon pictured at the bottom of every page. It is also the source of the football on Liz's page, the WWW Earth on the links page, and the bullet hole on the People page. Thanks for helping to customize my web space!

The arrows I use at the bottom of each page as well as the end of text scroll at the bottom of my index.html come from Anthony's fine collection.

National Marine Fisheries Service

The Northeast Fisheries Science Center Headquarters in Woods Hole, Massachusetts is the source of the herring.gif I use on my home page and as a background throughout the site. Thanks!

The beautiful red rose on the Portland page was designed by Margött at WebArt. Thanks, Margött! (wherever you are, because it isn't http://home.earthlink.net/~margott/webart.html anymore)

Leos Icon Collection

The strings.gif used on the Music page and the trees on the Portland page are from Leo Doerr's collection. Good work!

The sag_blue.gif used as background on the neurology sites page was found at this site. Thanks, mate! Pity that http://saturn.nmr.ion.bpmf.ac.uk/ is no longer reachable :-(
