A very special thanks to Big Rock and the Candy Ass Mountain Boys and the 1937 Flood, bands that rocked the 2002 Treehuggers Ball: Rick Bady; Eric Fout; Bo Masullo; Dave Peyton; Chuck Romine; Sam St. Clair; Blake Sypher; Brad Overmeyer; Warren Owings.

An extra special thanks to Brian Sullivan, who participated in a flyover of mountaintop removal sites in West Virginia with aides from Senator Jeffords and Liebermans offices. Brians family lives in Wyoming Co. His insight on the impacts of MTR on coalfield residents had a significant effect on the Senate staffers. Southwings, a non-profit organization of volunteer pilots who help raise awareness of environmental issues by conducting flyovers, sponsored this trip. OVEC is grateful to Hume Davenport, director of Southwings, for piloting the plane and also for his organizations continued support of efforts to ban mountaintop removal mining.
