Dorothy Knowles (owner, Celtic Myth and Moonlight), a dear friend:

Totally aside from being a good friend for many years, in 2006 we began taking photographs of her shop for her website’s virtual tour page.  Two years later we took the leap to create her online shopping cart and, thanks to her, the initiative was suddenly there to learn website design.  I admit to being very proud of her shop’s website, both because of the praise she receives for it from her customers and because it features my photography and web design throughout.  But it’s an easy thing to be inspired creatively there because of all the exquisite merchandise.  Dorothy, thank you for having faith in my abilities, and for working with me over these years even when hit with stumbling blocks which frustrated us both – but which we eventually worked our way through. Please take a look at Celtic Myth and Moonlight's website at www.celticmythmoon.com/ and Facebook site at www.facebook.com/CelticMythMoon

Peter Mitchell (of Mitchell PC):

Without Peter’s invaluable assistance and guidance I’d never have learned website design – and I’d most assuredly not have had the confidence to develop websites of my own, much less attempt to begin a business of my very own.  Peter, thank you for having the confidence in me, and for your patience with me through my many questions.

Warren Holohan (owner, Ink and Essence):

This was my second website to work on, and we’ve had to work through many difficulties with its development.  It’s been a real pleasure working with their outstanding Celtic designs, trying to create a website which does them justice.  Warren’s artistic talent and knowledge of graphic design has helped immensely, and his wisdom has helped me to steer a truer course.  Thank you, Warren, both for your friendship and knowing that we could do it!

Finley Dula, my brother:

Early on, my brother provided me with software enabling me to manipulate the digital photographs I was taking, allowing me to create images to be proud of.  We’ve both been through some rough times over the last few years, but we’re still brothers…enough said.

Sandy Bish, friend:

Many a poem of mine has been spoken into poor Sandy’s ears, oft-times before anyone else had seen or heard them.  Her invaluable friendship has aided me through some rough times, with many a heart-to-heart talk shared between us.  Sandy, thank you for being there when I’ve needed to talk, and for sharing your thoughts with me as well…you’ve helped more than you might know.

Sora, a good friend:

Sora and I met online a while back, and she has been quite a lot of help with bouncing my web ideas off of, with many helpful comments sent my way. Sora is a Canadian singer with a beautiful voice, as any who listen will attest. Her recent album Heartwood is quite a treasure.

Rick Sky:

Rick recorded a few of my poems for me, for which I say thank you.

Eric and Peggy (of the band Maggie Spike), two friends:

Many thanks for their inviting me to join them with my Native American thunder drum in recording the song Black Crow on their new Sol Paradise CD. That is my first recording on a CD, of which I am quite proud - even if it was but a very small part of the whole. I'm now anxiously anticipating their next musical project!

Glenda Danilshenko (owner, The Reinholds Inn), friend and neighbor:

Glenda has been a good neighbor over the years, and I've dined at her fine restaurant many times over the years. Recently I began assisting her with some major website problems she was having, and have now completely re-done her website. Please take a look at The Reinholds Inn's website at www.reinholdsinn.net/

Please accept my apologies if I've left you off this list. Many people have contributed to my life and sadly some of those are no longer with us, most especially my mom. For all of you, I thank you!
