RAB ! - Thanks |
Congratulations, you have just found the one English page on this site. Because it would never have seen the light of day or brightened (we hope) your afternoon at the office without the help of a large number of English-speaking US and UK fans, we thought we owed them a page that they, at least, well, you (hi !) would understand. The strangers-from-over-the-pond we approached turned out to be a remarkably generous bunch of people, sent us videos, allowed us to borrow their photos, translate and quote from their reports and generally shared what info and goodies they had with us. Some have their own websites or pages and these are listed on the links page (‘liens’) along with some of the sites we found on Robert Beltran, but we also wanted to extend very special thanks to :
Robert Beltran and Jen, the former ORB webmistress, for allowing us to use photos from the ORB (taking our own shots of RB as a student presented us with obvious technical problems not yet resolved by time-travel scientists). Most of these photos are on the ‘Dans la vie’ (bio) and ‘Sur Scène’ (theatre) pages.
Louie Cruz Beltran for giving us permission to use photos and information from his web site.
Freddie for working as my partner at this site for several years and making the RAB! becoming a reality.
Mariette and her partner, the French, English and Spanish-speaking Canadian couple for most of the professionally and rapidly completed Spanish translations. Cecilia and Mechi were a great help too.
My friend Susan R. for all the German-into-English translations in 2001 and 2002 which you'll find on this site. Jessie for jumping in now and doing the English reports and translations which will come up in the future.
Olga for doing all the Dutch translations for the Dutch section of the RAB!
Annie from Rome for the translations at the Italian section of the site.
Albert Ortega, professional photographer for allowing us to borrow some of his photos from his site (see ‘Dans la Vie’ bio page)
Anja Schrage, Anja Möller and Angela Schlitt for giving us permission to use their great photos of the Galaxy Ball 1999 (see ‘Sur Terre’ charity events page)
Deb Stone, the RanDom Flight’s Webmistress for allowing us to use her no less great photos taken at Robert Duncan McNeill’s 2000 Champagne Cruise (see the ‘Sur Terre’ charity events page)
Doreen Hartz who wrote a report (in French, which spared us the translation) on Galaxy Ball 1999 especially for our site. (‘Sur Terre’ charity events page)
Joan for the photos from her 'Voyager Gallery'
Silke Hempel for many of the Chakotay and movie photos from her very full site
Ali, Denise, Lisa, Lucy & Tony and Sabine for their Norwich and Page's photos (Robert Beltran's UK Tour 2000) - also Jannie W, Linda B, Maggie B and Nina P for their photos of the Galaxy Ball 2000
Jana and Vreni for so generously allowing us to use their great photos from different events in 2001 and 2002 (Galaxy Ball, Page's Bar, FedCon, TrekDay etc.) And especially Jana for also designing this beautiful Flash animation for the index site.
Bill for her wonderful reports on Robert's appearances at Page's Bar and Sapphire Bar in London in 2002.
All the people who kindly sent us films and convention videos or magazines or somehow helped enlighten us (or mislead us) on the unsuspecting subject of this site:
Amica, Alexis, Anja S, Annerieke, B-Giz, Doreen, Karen T, Linda F, Maggie, Mariette, Sabine, Heidrun etc.
