"Barry's assistance and guidance was instrumental in the success of this book. He developed financial sources to assist in the payment of the publishing, provided valuable advice in the area of strategic plans for the marketing and delivery of the book, and was very understanding of me in my lack of knowledge of the whole process. His knowledge of surrounding sources of assistance was outstanding and his work in developing them for us was very positive."
 
Respectfully Submitted, 
Harold H. Kerr II, President

"It's important to note that fundraising is a team effort.  These beneficiaries had as much to do with the success of these projects as I did.  I gained a considerable amount of knowledge from these executive directors, authors and volunteers who worked tirelessly to capture the important history of their organizations.
