Over the past years I've received a great deal of encouragement and help in producing this site. Your feedback has kept me going and made the effort more than worthwhile. Thank you.

Thanks to the Town of Hebron for reclaiming the portion of the trail that I've photographed. Having seen some of the unrestored portions of the Air Line in other towns, and heard stories of what the trail used to be like, it's clear that they've created a diamond from a lump of coal - the coal, no doubt, left over from the steam era.

Of course Hebron relies heavily on volunteers for trail maintenance and trash pickup. These people serve as stewards for the trail - not only on formal maintenance parties, but by their actions whenever they are on the trail. Thank you, each and every one.

Thanks to all the good folks I've met along the trail, and especially to the early morning regulars like Barb, Frank, Diane, Sue, and Bill (and Roscoe and Travis!) - and others whose names I've forgotten or never learned. You've been good company, and your questions have both challenged me and helped me improve the site.

Many kind friends have helped with identifications. I thank you all. Special thanks to Terry Stoleson, Membership Director of the Connecticut Valley Mycological Society, for help with mushroom identifications. Thanks to Mike for IDs on flowering shrubs, an area where I am woefully ignorant. Thanks to Frank for first spotting an otter. Thanks to Richard Brown of the Mississippi Entomological Museum (who I haven't seen since Army days in the mid-1970s) for help with caterpillar and moth identifications. And thanks to a growing list of helpful people with knowledge of, or interest in, the former United Distillers site visible from the trail in Amston. These folks include David Morrison, Joan Toomey, Wallace Brodeur, Elaine Wallace, Librarian Anne Burgan, and various Town Hall staff.

I take full credit for any inaccuracies - but if (when) you find them, please point them out to me so I can correct them.
