On behalf of Lisa, Tripp, Chuck and myself at FocalPoint f/8 as well as our colleagues at World Media Online, I'd like to thank everyone who helped us to realize The Russian Chronicles: Our sponsors, all of the Russian families who put us up on the road -- or should I say put up with us?-- our families who supported us-- even when they had no idea what the world wide web was -- and especially to all of you who followed along with us. Your letters and comments were a great source of encouragement and inspiration. The Russian Chronicles will remain up for several more months so please feel free to continue to send us any comments and questions.

We apologize for any technical glitches or delays you may have encountered along the way, but this was the first attempt at creating this type of on-line journalism. With your help we all learned a great deal and I am sure that our experiences will go a long way in furthering our future projects.

I bid you all the very Russian farewell of "Schastlivogo"! (happy journeys)
