Kathryn Coldren provides headshots and photos throughout the site

Nancy Bereano provided editing, moral support, and excellent listening skills

Kent Loeffler and Kate Gould provided photos, modeling, and good sportsmanship

Various supporters and friends who wish to remain anonymous helped with support, advice, moral support, survey and poll testing as well as proofreading

As always, my partner Jill provided good humor, moral support, patience, good counsel, and generosity

My family provided support and inspiration, reminding me that public service is a higher calling only when you never forget where you come from, who you serve, and who helps you along the way.
