Bells N Whistles
To our colleagues at bellsnwhistles.com we thank you for the free downloading of clip art.
Stanley Siegel
For his making me realize what a .gif and .jpeg file is and how they are either transparent or translucent. Its all Greek to me anyway, but his name goes up in lights every time he helps me with a technical problem.
More importantly, he is now a councilman-at-large, so now he has to catch the grenades that he used to throw.

overtime that I had to perform to get this project done.
George Hammond, My Best Man
A Korean War Veteran who helped us to dedicate the Korean and Vietnam War Memorials on Orange Square
