Other thanks to: Tom Flewelling, Denali Thaxton and to my wife Loretta and my daughter Stephanie. 

Malcolm wishes to thank Cindy, his wife, for endless support and patience; my boys, Ben and Tristan for all their help and understanding; my Mum and Dad, my Uncle Don, for getting me started; and so many, many others.  I also wish to give deep thanks for the peace and joy I experience in sharing my passion of life with you all.  A passion that ranges from the agony of pain and suffering, to the joyful ecstasy of it all.  I am truly blessed to experience such wonder.
