Below I've listed individuals who
have helped me with this website. These are people who have made
suggestions, sent in material, provided guidance, or have otherwise
helped us. I thank all of them.
Paul
Margolis is a man of many talents: writer, photographer,
activist, adventurer... Paul introduced me to this topic through
his writing, and has provided "interesting" background information.
Tedd
Blevins, artist extraordinaire, sells his paintings for
thousands of dollars. Thanks for the artistic advice.
Dr. Robert M. Levine has
been kind in his suggestions, leading me to new areas to include,
and providing excellent background information. (Subliminal
suggestion: Read his book.)
Laura Paull
and Evan Garelle, explorers and poets, have brought
the world of the Jews of Cuba closer.
Judith Laikin
Elkin has provided enough reference material to get
a couple of doctorates.
Stanley Kossof may
get a computer someday. In the meantime, he gets the job done.
Hey, Stanley, Circuit City is having a sale this week!
And to everyone on
soc.culture.cuba, including
Roberto, Mona, Juan, Miguel, Lourdes, Miriam, Larry, Walter,
GoLo, Vivian..... Oi, who am I leaving out? Thanks to all of
you for taking time out from the battles on SCC to offer advice
and guidance.
And gracias to Pedro

entitled "The Cuban Children," which I saved, and which has
provided guidance.
