THANK YOUS Especially to Mara Statnekov who wrote the original webpage from which we copied loads! To Denver Steiner and Jaime Merritt and Andra Belknap who persuaded Paulette that an updating was needed and could be done. Special thanks to Jaime who did much of the design. Special thanks also to Denver for being so generous with his technical skills. And to the numerous La Mariposa students who have donated photographs and who appear in them! Paulette takes responsibility for the text.
