My name is Randal Brandt and I am solely responsible for the content of this website. By day I am a librarian at the University of California, Berkeley. If you care, you can find out more about me at https://webfiles.berkeley.edu/rbrandt/public_html/index.html.

   I started this website in 1997 and have been working on it ever since. Any inaccuracies or mistakes are my own. Please send any comments, questions, criticisms, or suggestions about the site to rbrandt@library.berkeley.edu. However, this website would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of a few others:

   Kendal Dodge Butler, David Dodge’s daughter, provided me with invaluable information, editorial advice, corrections and clarifications, photographs, enthusiasm, and moral support.

   Lewis Butler (www.butlerinstitute.com), Kendal’s stepson, gave me web design assistance and advice and also arranged for the site’s domain and server space at www.southgaylord.com.

   Mary Scott of the Library Graphics Office at the University of California, Berkeley helped me create many of the images found in these pages.

   Mike Mages helped me edit the Home Movies ... heck, who are we kidding here? He did all of it. I just told him what I wanted and he made it happen. Thanks Mike!
