Acknowledgements

More people have helped with this project than we ever imagined when it began in late 2002. From the writers, actors and producers who made Nightfall, to the folks at NPR who brought it to America, to the library and archive administrators who helped in our research, to the fans who enjoyed the show then and now.

In addition to the long list of people below, we would like to especially thank several people for their incredible support and enthusiasm, and for going above and beyond the call of duty in their involvement with this project:

Barbara Brown - (CBC Radio Licensing) for pointing us to all the right people and keeping us on track with licensing and rights issues.

Bill Gray - (former producer, CBC Calgary) for taking such an interest in the project and continuing to encourage us in both our efforts to keep the site going and in Neil's efforts at producing his own radio drama projects.

Brenda Shaw - for being one of the first to say "Cool!" when we started talking about the project. Some people think it's weird to be doing all this work for a radio show that most people have never heard of and hasn't been on the air for over 20 years, yet Brenda not only believed in us and said "Go for it!", she also helped with on-site research.

Dr. Howard Fink (Senior Archivist at the Concordia University Centre for Broadcasting Studies) - for his kind permission to utilize data from their extensive on-line database of CBC radio drama production records. WIthout his assistance, many more of the fields in our Episode Guide would still be blank.

Kevin Hartnell - for keeping up with the progress of the site and offering his assistance whenever possible, as well as for being a fan longer than Neil has. Sometimes it's the support of those more dedicated than yourself that can keep a project going.

Lawrie Seligman - (former producer, CBC Edmonton) for being our first phone interview and giving us encouragement and direction regarding the history of radio in Canada.

Mary Young - (Writers Guild of Canada) who helped us make contact with many of the show's writers. Without her help, many of the episodes wouldn't have the interesting behind-the-scenes stories that they do.
