Firstly, to those who are no longer with us, some of whom I met and some of whom I will still count as friends: in NO order Sal DiMarco jnr.: Sal was a great help in giving advise. When we ran a mentor programme, he was one of the first to put his hand up and offer to help. Sal did not contribute images, but he was certainly part of the project. http://merecat.org/index.cgi/2005/05/09 Steve LeHurray: Steve and I had some "discussions" and he was happy to make comment on the project, not always positive BUT always constructive, and when he had had his say, he would put it behind him and work at making images. I do not know now how we will get his selected images into the exhibition. If anyone can help with this, let me know. http://stmaarten.globat.com/~afirkin.com/NewSite/FOM2%20Folder/ FOM2Gallery2003/source/2003c04n34.htm Dieter W Wehde: died only days before we were due to meet in Hamburg. Dieter was an inspiration in the early days helping with plans and contacts. His images were hard edged but soft hearted, and I was relying on his knowledge and experience to get the exhibit up and running. http://stmaarten.globat.com/~afirkin.com/NewSite/FOM2%20Folder/ FOM2Gallery2002/source/17.html Jim Gatlin: was a strong supporter of the early years of FOM2. His images of cross cultural influences gave the project depth and I am so sad not to have his images in the final collection: again if anyone can help http://stmaarten.globat.com/~afirkin.com/NewSite/FOM2%20Folder/ FOM2Gallery2002/source/28.html http://stmaarten.globat.com/~afirkin.com/NewSite/FOM2%20Folder/ FOM2Gallery2002/source/56.html Our hearts go out to these friends. More to follow. Alastair
