Fraggle Rock Page - Thanks and Acknowledgements

I have received help from many people on my Internet Muppet projects, and I am endebted to them all.

I must mention the work of a couple of people in particular with respect to the Guide, though. Karen Prell collected and organized lots of information while she was working on Fraggle Rock. Her work, the real Encyclopedia Fragglia, cataloged much of the same information that my guide does, albeit with an official aspect that my work lacked. I am therefore extremely grateful to Jerry Juhl for letting me use the Encyclopedia Fragglia to certify the information and fill the holes in my Guide to Fraggle Rock. All song names (with a couple of exceptions) and a number of the episode summaries, Doc and Sprocket summaries, and Traveling Matt Postcard descriptions in my guide come from the EF, either wholly or in part. According to Jerry, the Encyclopedia Fragglia was "a labor of love" for Karen and I am very thankful of that. It is wonderful to know that someone so closely involved with Fraggle Rock cared as much about collecting and preserving information about it as I do. Thank you Karen and Jerry!

I also need to give special thanks to someone who has done so much for me and whose work is all over these pages; my friend Sue Rose. I think Sue is the first person I met who cares as much about Fraggle Rock and the Muppets as I do, which is no small feat. In fact, she and I think alike in many ways. Sue has been keeping track of Muppet performers for as long as I have (probably much longer, actually). She's the one who's done the most work in our transcription of the lyrics to all the Fraggle Rock songs too. I did this page because I'm the more "tech" of the two of us, but she'd be doing one of her own if she could. I just wanted everyone to know how involved Sue is in this page and the things which are coming here soon, since she is definitely not one to say so herself.
