Lots of thanks for all your help with the page,
and for spending hours with me
creating different logo designs for the front page . . . which I didn't even use. LOL The page definitely wouldn't
have been possible without you though, and it's always a joy to talk with
you.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing so many wonderful
photos to this site, as well as your vast knowledge of Miss M during the
onstage decade. The Magazine Archive would practically be empty without your

death to have you as part of the team. You're a great guy,
a wonderful friend and a true living Baltimore encyclopedia! : )

running it, and I hope I've been able to give it some of the justice
it deserves thru this page. It's always a thrill to talk with

past times. Your photos are a true asset to this
page.

Thank you for sharing your many
stories of working with Bette, along with all the great information
regarding your beautifully produced album "Songs For The New
Depression." Also, thank you for the opportunity to help
in reviving the many lost songs from those sessions. I sure hope we're able to resurrect
the album one of these days . . . I'll die trying.

for the old days. You're a good friend . . . and quite the
singer. LOL

You are one of the sweetest lads
I've ever met! I'm so lucky to call you my mate. (That means
friend in England for those who are thinking something else!) Your
love for Bette is endless, which I find adorable. You bring
happiness everywhere you go, and it's always a pleasure talk talk with
you. You're a terrific friend . . . and believe me, there are very
few I'd EVER make a "Wind Beneath My Wings" video for, so
consider yourself a special one! GO ENGLAND! : )

And I thought I was obsessed with
the early Bette years! You are by far the king of obsession . . .
but I still have more stuff than you, so ha! LOL You've become
a real great friend and I'm so glad to have met you. Just a pity it
wasn't earlier when you were selling those damn booklets . . . we'll never
live that down. But I've had such a ball lately and you've been the
reason for it. You've also made me realize that there are fans out
there who truly appreciate this website. Thank you for everything
and I look forward to our next 5 hour phone call. Do you EVER shut
up? LOL

This page
just would not have been possible without you. Words can not even
express the respect and appreciation I have for you. I came to you
with just a seed and you gave me a garden to grow my flower in.
Humm, why does that sound so perverted? You gave me the chance to
make this site what it is. - you gave me the server to build
it on, you gave me the support and encouragement to keep going, and most
importantly, you gave me your friendship. I can't thank you enough for
everything you've done for me, and for this page. It's a true privilege
and honor working side by side with you on all these projects. You
are a wonderful man, a great friend and a true inspiration.

Without you this page would not even
exist. You are one of my closest friends and I love ya to
death. You not only have been generous to a fault with me, but you
are the one who really sparked my passion for the early days, and for that
I thank you the most. You've allowed me to enjoy an era that I would
not have been able to experience otherwise. I thank you from the
bottom of my heart.

BETTE,
All I can say is thank you for
the years of entertainment that you've given to me, and to so many fans
alike. You are a great person and deserve so much credit for the
things that you do. I believe you're one of the
greatest live performers there is, and you've left one hell of a legacy
behind you. I only hope I've come even half as close to showcasing
that legacy talent within this page. Thank you for being such a great inspiration to
me, and for being a friend when there was no other. I really hope you like the page.
A loyal fan of the early days,
Darrell.
