Acknowledgments:
It started with a story about a reunion of linguists in San Antonio, and led to the creation of this website. Rodney Bell, the Udornvet (web site), suggested a new web site to find old AFTN alumni, and other guys began helping. Rik Delisle, now in Berlin, Germany, the late Norm Corley in Athens, Greece, and Dick Storck in North Carolina provided contacts, tapes, and photos. It hasn't stopped yet. All these folks have made contributions to assist us and we thank them. |
