0077: Scroll the Credits
As much as I have tried to remember everyone who has helped me along the journey, I have no doubt forgotten someone.
But in name only, I promise you!
If your name is not on the list, please send me a rudely worded message!
I think my biggest regret is that I don't have pictures of everyone.
