Dedication & Thanks

        This website is dedicated to the many Porcupine Kids who I have had the pleasure of working with over the past ten or so years. I appreciate sharing their lives, their struggles, their strength and their resilience. A special thanks to the 'Professor', thanks ALF. Thank you to the Porcupine Parents who have allowed me to share in the growth and development of their children. Thanks to Walter Boone, for always having time for my latest computer questions. Digital photography provided by Steve McCorkle - thanks for your artistic expertise past & present. Thanks also to JV for his contribution on the Behavioral Triangle.
