+**Acknowlegements**
+
+I have a Patreon project open for this book. It's not about making a
+lot of money, but about getting encouragement: if someone's willing to
+give me even just a little money, it makes me think they like what I
+write, and that encourages me to write more. There is a reward level
+where if you give enough, you get your name in the book. This section
+is for that.
+
+The people who enthusiastically give me enough money to have their
+names in the book are:
+
+* Mauri Sahlberg
+* Rob Kendrick
+
+In addition there are several who donate less.
+
+I can't express how much it means to me that people appreciate my
+writing. It's almost as if I was a real writer, which has been a dream
+of mine since I was a teenager.
+
+I hasten to clarify that I appreciate all readers, whether they give
+me enough to be named here, or less, or nothing at all.
