    David,

    We agree, there are a lot of names missing. One of the goals of this project is to identify individuals like those you mentioned, and to bring their work to light.

    We need the help of people like yourself for this, and that’s one of the reasons we wanted to do this via the web versus strictly in-house.

    Though we know a lot, we don’t know everything, and we’d love to have people far and wide contribute to the body of knowledge we’re putting together.

    Any time you want to contribute, please send us an email.

    Take care,
    Todd

    Great site — I would be pleased to help write a biography of my father, Edward Jackson, who’s listed on the site. Since he’s still with us, if you’d like to organize an interview just let me know. Same goes for his partner, Bill Kane.

    I just thought of another to add to the list,certainly if one of your sponsors is an Art Deco peservation group… don’t forget Wert Rowland,and the Guardian Building in Detroit!
