In the process of creating this web site, many people have contributed
their time and effort in assisting us. We would like to express our gratitude
towards them for making this possible. We would like to thank Southern Illinois
University and Office of Educational Affairs for proposing the Thinkquest
idea to us and providing use of their facilities for computer work,

and Micropower Connecting Point, and Adobe System, Inc. for furnishing the
software key to completing this project. We would also like to acknowledge
Memorial Medical Center's Photography department for allowing us to use
their scanning instrument, as well as Memorial Medical Library for use of
their atlases. 
We are also very grateful towards Dr. Timothy Koschmann and Dr. Paul Feltovich
for their guidance throughout the course of this undertaking, and Ms. Nancy
Sanchez for organizing times for computer use, and helping us get in touch
with various institutions. Most importantly, we would like to express our
deepest gratitude towards our wonderful coach, Ms. Catherine Hendrickson.
She has spent a great deal of her time with us, has had incredible patience
with our

team, and found just the right way in guiding us to create our own ideas.
Her time,
dedication, and care has been greatly appreciated.
