Friends of the project

I know it is not proper etiquette to go back and change pages in the blog at later dates, but the number of people stepping forward to help on the project is important to us.  We will only list a little about each person to recognize them for their support until they say they want more information about them or their business added.  Come back and visit this page to see who else is helping.

Top listing has no choice, THANK YOU to my lady for letting me play in not an inexpensive way on a project that had/has a lot of risk.  Oh, yeah, and to my boys for humoring me, but I know they want to drive it!

The final inspiration, he knew I was interested and provided a connection to tip the scale and get us going: Wolf
