Читать книгу The Big Book of UFOs - Chris A. Rutkowski - Страница 7

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To produce a Big Book, one must have friends and colleagues with Big Hearts. I certainly have many of these.

In terms of writing and encouragement, I must thank my writers’ group, Off The Wall, including Evelyn Woodward, Susan Rocan, Kevin Russell, Sam Courcelles, K.C. Oliver, Katherine Lovejoy, and Barbara Lange.

My publisher, Dundurn Press, has helped me refine and craft my manuscript into readable form, particularly their staff: Matt Baker, Margaret Bryant, Tammy Mavroudi, Karen McMullin, Michael Carroll, Jennifer Scott, and especially Beth Bruder.

For assistance with scanning and artwork, I would like to thank Pat Goss and Stacey Archer, as well as Jennifer Wang, Susan Birdwise, Vladimir Simosko, Zachary Rutkowski, Erwin Dirks, and Billy Booth.

For moral support and for sharing views, news, and ideas about UFOs, I would like to thank Alan and Cindy Anderson, Geoff Currier, Geoff Dittman, John Danakas, Grant Cameron, Sue St. Clair, Terry Groff, Linda and Don Percy, Dave Trimble, Stanton Friedman, Nicholas Roesler, Vladimir Simosko, Francois Bourbeau, Errol Bruce-Knapp, and Chris Reid.

Finally, it goes without saying, but I will anyway: a special thank you to my wife Donna, who kept the house going while I was hiding in the study. Her support and inspiration are what keep me going. Not only that, she’s pretty.

Thanks also to Vicki and Zach, who told me they helped her around the house with chores and other duties as assigned.
