There is no way to end what has been a very tumultuous year for us except to thank our hundreds of thousands of dedicated readers, our supporters and, especially, all of our contributors. Some of those who send us superb material prefer to remain anonymous, and we respect their wishes. You all know who you are and you have our anonymous thanks. Look to that list on the right, however, and you will find the names of people who consistently have supplied us with excellent items and photos: Dan Bennis, Miss Heather, E.C. Stephens, Marie Viljoen, Jean Kahler, Lauren Fairbanks, JP Pagan, Lornagrl, F. Jasmin Adams, Vaduz Uvunt, Vanessa Raymond, Eat It, Graziella Radici, Nate Kensinger, Adrian Kinloch, Deborah Matlack, Gary Mirabelle and Meg Groome. One name that recently disappeared from that list is our friend Max Casey, who was a key part of GL and who is dearly and deeply missed and who always will be. Extra special deep and heartfelt thanks are due to E.C. Stephens and Vaduz Uvunt, who came to us when we were ready to throw in the towel and literally helped us keep GL going. We love you both for you hard work and kindness. Kudos also to Dan Bennis who has been unflagging in doing our concert calendar, and to Deborah Matlack, whose photos never fail to make us smile. And thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Miss Heather, whose unflagging and true friendship are far more valuable than any contribution should could ever make–and those contributions are damned good too. There are other people who contribute through our photo pool, like Rubys Host and Jack Szwergold, who might as well be contributors. All of these people give of themselves from their hearts, because they’re sure not in it for the money. And for that, they have our deep and most sincere thanks. Onward.
