We all want to give a BIG thank you to Mr. Bush! Thank you so much for helping us find the information and signing us up for the competition. Also thank you for setting up the website template and uploading our website.

We also want to thank the people who we interviewed: Dace Cernavska, Ineta Ilenane, Maira Erliha, Romualds Razuks, and Zanda Alksne. Gita Ozolina was very helpful in helping to translate interviews with Aivars Ozolins, Ineta Kaktina, Zanna Trankale, Maris Trankalis, and Aivars Plucis. We would also like to thank ISL's director, Cindy Stults, and ISL's principal, Bob Winters for their support.

Many people brought in books and other resources for us to use. We would like to thank them for that too.
