Thank You!

The first thank you has to be to everyone who has been a member of the mailing list, for contributing to this community.

Thanks to our charter members, CarolAnn Orsini and Marie-Claude Dupont, who helped me create this list.

I would like to thank three key people for the terrific growth that this list has shown: June Goodnow, Marlaine Verhelst, and Nancie Mann. June and Marlaine's artistic credentials brought us credibility in the early days, and Nancie talked the list up when we were just getting started and referred many of the artists who contacted her to us. Plus, their personal support has been wonderful to me. The way that they have treated me seriously has forced me to take myself seriously.

Thanks to Rebecca Schumaker for her enthusiasm and friendship, for publicizing the list in the early days, and for letting us all get a vicarious thrill out of her success. Thank you for the beautiful T-shirt graphic.

Thanks to the previous co-listowners, June Goodnow, Nancy Gibbs, and Dolores Hannan, for always being willing to pitch in and help out. Special thanks to Jane Covington who moderated the list when I was moving and having a baby. My four week break turned into a three month break, and she didn't complain at all.

Thanks to my new co-listowners, Dona Vaughn, Lynn Hampton, and to Jane again for staying on.

Thanks to Greta Albright Cocuzzo for letting us use her domain name, and for maintaining the shows and suppliers lists. Also, for being a good online (and RL when we can get together) friend all these years.

Thanks to Pauli Driver Smith for her help with this web page.

Thanks to everyone on my users-group test list who let me blather endlessly at them for weeks to test this and make sure that it all works.

If any listmember would like to put a link to us on their web site, here are two graphics that you can use.

my sincere thanks to everyone who read this!
