Although the after images of our most beloved creations will not fade for a long time -- if ever -- I have told my part of this incredible story, and I want to express my deep, heartfelt thanks to those whose voices chimed in to make this saga so endearing and enduring. Especially, to Peter T., whose art revived the tale so many times, to Jen Ellen, who always guaranteed the heart would be left in, to LEJ, MM, and Mbo, who turned the key corners for us at so many critical passages, to Praise, Caitrin, Spaw Barky,and all the others who made the Mudcat Enterprise and her adventures so worthwile -- thanks, forever, gang -- it's been REAL.

Love,

Amos
