“FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT”

It’s somewhat fascinating to see how many people are involved at some point in the project. It confirms once more that through teamwork we can achieve so much more. I owe everyone involved (the “crew”) a personal acknowledgement for their contribution to the project. A little award symbol was added for those who had a special contribution or role in the project. Please remember that all your efforts are equally appreciated :)
