Appreciation Gallery
The success of this Internet
community project is highly dependent on volunteers and New Mexico enterprises
contributing time, financial or other resources in supporting our efforts
to unite New Mexicans in linking and promoting New Mexico on the Internet.
Our goal is to keep this web operational for the benefit of everyone
interested in America's Land of Enchantment and we will do our best
to give credit where due, whether services are paid for in cash or in
kind or contributed without further obligation.
Here's our Appreciation
Gallery to date, lined up alphabetically:
Crystal Freeman was one of
the primary people responsible for wordsmithing our web content in 1996.
At the time she was working for the University of New Mexico while completing
coursework for her Master's degree with an emphasis in history. She
has sinced moved back home to Georgia where she continues to work on
her Master's.
In 1996 Marcus Johnstone created
most of the graphic elements that dictated the original "look and
feel" for this web publication. He worked on this project as a
Westward Connections employee for almost a year before relocating to
Colorado where he serves as the webmaster and site developer for a Denver
area corporation and continues his education in multi-media and Internet
technologies. He is also available to work on selective Westward Connections
client projects.
Jolou Ottino is the driving
force behind Mediaworks Advertising Specialties in Albuquerque. Jolou
created the Trivia•New Mexico board game and enlisted the help
of New Mexico businesses and community services to contribute to its
content and successful promotional campaign.
A special thanks goes to Microsoft
representatives Barbara Samchuck, a fellow New Mexican, for asking Barb
Tomlin to assist her and Julie Freemole, in introducing the latest
version of Microsoft Internet Explorer to the New Mexico marketplace
in 1996. This opportunity enabled us to show New Mexico off to the rest
of the world before our state ever published its official
web site to promote New Mexico.
Barb Tomlin, aka Barb
T., New Mexico USA, a New Mexico resident most of her life, has
made it a lifelong goal to awaken the rest of the world to the land
she calls home. She is the person responsible for developing the infrastructure
for this site, much of its content and for funding its continued publication
on the Web.
Ken Washington is the person
responsible for developing our interactive New Mexico trivia game and
the development of the ActiveX components on this web site. Kudos to
Ken for a job well done. During 1996 Ken also served as webmaster for
this project.
