I would like to thank Mr. Maitland and his Web Design students Brenda, Nick and Ryan, for their expertise and enthusiasm in producing this exciting web site. Also my own students for their patience and talent in reconstructing this incredible piece of history. Finding the experts and circus historians from across North America has been just as exciting as the original dicovery in 1989. Without the resources from the following organizations this unique discovery may not have been recognized and an opportunity for learning lost, for my students, and all those who venture on to this site.- Dave Sheridan
