First and foremost I would like to thank the Lord my God, Jesus Christ, to whom I am eternally, lovingly and loyally in his service, for the sacrifice he made for all of us and the awesome leadership that he has provided me and my family.  He is the Lord and there is no other.

I would like to thank my parents, Arthur D and Inge Phillips for all of their love and support.  My sister Lila for all of her love and support. 

Mom, Dad, Lila, Uncle Jr. and Aunt Lucille for teaching me the value of family and teaching me how to appreciate this wonderful gift that God has given us.

I would like to express my gratitude to the following people for their contribution of information to this website:
