29: A Word of Thanks
​


I wish to thank Professor Laurel Robinson, Chair of Visual Arts at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus and her Advanced Visual Arts Classes of 2011 and 2012 for supplying the many graphic-novel type illustrations for this website.
  
This original artwork was created as a graded class project in commercial illustration. 

It was Dr. Burt Carter, Professor Emeritus of Paleontology at Georgia Southwestern, who brought Professor Robinson and I together. Burt holds my gratitude for a host of actions.
​
I would also thank Mary Parrish; Illustrator for the Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington as she was kind enough to review their and comment on their artwork.

​The talented young artists have my gratitude; they are listed below in alphabetical order.
