ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To June, my friend, who without her outside of the box thinking, Blaze would not have the interesting career she does. Her willingness to do computer research for me was how I found the shipwreck information and career information I needed. Thank you, June!

 

As I was researching shipwrecks, I found an interesting man who was generous with both his knowledge and spirit. A special thank you goes out to Dr. John de Bry, PhD, Director for the Center for Historical Archaeology, and his wife who graciously invited me into their home. John was patient and made my research experience one to remember by allowing me to ask all the questions my heart desired. I wouldn’t have half the information I needed without them. The twinkle in John’s eyes when he spoke of La Trinité added to the enjoyment I had while writing this story.
