| Laura and Charlie Pinto, February 2005 |
This site would not be possible if not for the love and
support of the following people.
First, my former husband, Charles Pinto, whom I
met when I was 19 years old and without whom I would never have matured and evolved as a human being. Charlie opened
my eyes to a lot of things and enabled me to blossom. He was the best friend I've ever had and the single most important influence
in my life. My heartfelt thanks to Charlie for all he's done, and for all he had to put up with from me during our years
together! (Charlie, sweetie, I will miss you for as long as I live.)
Thanks also to my coworkers Randy, Carl, Roxann,
Kay, Kathy, Laura, Linda and Fawn, for your friendship, support, and indulgence. Special thanks also to Jim, Chris,
and Sunny.
A big thank-you to all the friends I've been fortunate
enough to make via the Web, especially my mentor and "brother," Don 'Stuffed Animal' Charles. Thanks also to the celebrities
who have become friends - Barbara and Rosa Hawkins, Jeff Barry, David Brigati, Suzie & Robin McNamara, and Andy Kim.
Last, but certainly not least, my heartfelt thanks to
you, Ron. You will never know the extent of the joy you have brought into my life, just by being yourself and doing your own
thing. God bless you for that. (Or, putting it in another fashion ... you're the bestest!)
