ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


This data base would not be possible without the patience, tolerance, and endurance of the mothers, grandmothers, wives, sweethearts, friends, and those other unfortunates who had to listen to "Look! That is probably a cemetery! Let's go investigate!" or "Just one more stop for a few pictures. This won't take but a minute . . . "
         Thank you, and yes, I will buy dinner.
