Notes from An Alien

Communicators' Roll of Honor

This is Alexander M Zoltai. The people listed here were more helpful during the writing of this book than they might expect. An interesting aspect of this list is who is not here. Over 300 people were given the opportunity to have their names here. I can imagine many reasons for their decision not to be listed; but, I'm sad that they can't be honored as part of the normally-invisible matrix of individuals who make the author's job more interesting and, definitely, more worthwhile.

Please note: Some of the names below are creative aliases.
