Pajaro, Mike -- Friend of our son DJ, and now of the family. He digitized the audio and video tapes of my mother reading her poems.

Smith, Daniel -- another "found" cousin who exchanged information about Martha Mott and provided photos to fill in the years of that branch of the family. Coincidentally, he now lives almost precisely on the same land that Johanna and Leo occupied on Bainbridge Island in the 1940's.
Winter, Elizabeth Gallagher -- my cousin who did an awesome extensive genealogy research, finding lost relatives in Sweden and documentation that raises questions about some family myths. She has entrusted all her research documents to me. She died July 30, 2003.
