Of course, a history-based website wouldn't be successful without the assistance, contribution and support of others. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge those individuals who initially helped to make this website possible.

First my good friend DeJuan D. McIntosh, whose hours of assistance in helping me put this site together was a blessing. His creativity and computer know-how eliminated those painstakingly extra hours more I would have had to spend sitting in front of my computer uploading and transferring volumes of information I've put together over the years. Even those times when I dragged him along to the Detroit Public Library, spending hours researching related information, he went along without a complaint. THANKS SO MUCH BRUH!!

Also, I'd like to thank DDOT coach operator Abe Simmons, for all those technical support tips during the early stages of this project, and DDOT coach operator — and good friend — Karl A. Marshall, for all that bus fleet information which will prove so useful as this site develops. And of course, DDOT Senior Service Inspector Dennis Grooms (now retired), whom I've had to come to on numerous occasions for his knowledge of the old DSR and early DDOT bus routes from 'back in the day.'

Obviously, a transit history website could not be successful without having those dedicated friends who've collected transit-related memorabilia down through the years. I'd like to thank Stanley (Stan) Sycko for letting me borrow his extensive newspaper collection of Detroit transit related articles, some dating back to the 1960s; and for sharing his extensive DSR transfer and bus schedule collection; passing along old DSR bus photos; and offering the support to get this project going. And then there's local transit historian and author Kenneth (Ken) Schramm (and his father, the late Jack E. Schramm (see our JACK SCHRAMM TRIBUTE)), whose numerous articles, photos, videos, and books they've shared with me through the years, and our transit conversations, have greatly assisted this project.

Last, but not least, I can't forget my co-workers, fellow supervisors, and upper management personnel at the Detroit Department of Transportation (D-DOT), who've over the years passed along DDOT related artifacts to add to my modest (but growing) transit archive collection. Although too numerous to mention everyone here,...a big THANK YOU to you all!
