We owe a huge debt of thanks to Cassie Starr Cross, Ben's grandmother Joanne Brubaker and brother Joshua DeVries, Lyssa Hall and most recently Ali Beem for their beautiful renditions of not one sparrow's logo (which started on a Grace Missionary Church bulletin). Joshua is also responsible for our stellar site banners (currently using an 123rf.com image by Globalphoto).
Thank you to Ali along with Ben and Clover Aldridge, Peter Blom, Ben's father Daryl DeVries, Mary Fitzgerald, Cathi Leibforth, Patti Monaghen, Jackie Pointer, Steve Pointer, Christin S, Amy Sondova and Stephanie Taylor for providing beautiful photographs to draw from in our page slideshows, in addition to 123rf.com, FreeDigitalPhotos.net, Farm Sanctuary and The Animals Voice public domain gallery.
