Author's Acknowledgments

I want to thank everyone who helped in the creation of the Strømme photographs as well as those who expressed their encouragement and support over the years. I particularly appreciate the work done by John Laney, who scanned all of the images, and Alan Abrams, who took the author photo. Finally, my special thanks go to Bill Elston who resurrected Strømme by designing and implementing this online version.
