Hermon: Ralph Behymer is the first one mentioned on my web page - in the acknowledgements section, along with several other prominent Behymer researchers. One person who is not mentioned, but will be on the next update, is Rick Phillips, with whom I have had numerous, fruitful brainstorming sessions on the early lines over the last couple of years. Rick has a lot of insight into the early records and has made signficant breakthroughs through his careful analysis of the data.
