Acknowledgments and Thanks to People who have really aided me with my "Rats of Tobruk Project" over 10 Years.
My Rats of Tobruk Project could not have been created and maintained, without the valued assistance and efforts of many people.
I hereby acknowledge and thank the following people in particular, and I apologize to those who may have provided assistance in some way, who I may have omitted from this acknowledgment.
First and foremost, I must acknowledge the incredible patience of my loving Wife, Maurveen, who suffered long periods of Loneliness during the 10 year course of my Project. I sincerely Love and Thank her dearly for her patience. Tasks such as these are never easy, if you do not have a Good Woman, supporting you in the background.
