A CKNO WLEDGEMENTS




            A number of contributors have given — in work, money, goodwill, time and resources — to this project:
            Sean Henry, road warrior and my partner in art. Sean has been one of my best friends for more than 30 years. He was there from start to finish when I did
            the first book, and it’s been a joy having his photography and artwork included in this one.
            Calibe Thompson, my business partner and creative director. She brought structure, direction and a deliberate approach to the project that made a
            difficult process a bit easier, although her never-ending demand for uncompromising excellence posed its own welcomed challenges. Her vision and
            guidance brought these images and words together in spectacular fashion.

            Kerry Chen, a great friend whose zeal and love for Jamaica and intimate knowledge of the nooks and crannies of the island gave us a clear path to key
            places we could not leave out. She also was our behind-the-scenes photographer, and managed our Instagram page at the start of this new adventure.
            Hannah Gulics of Island Syndicate, our stalwart senior associate who takes on all our projects as if they are her own, gets the finer details going and keeps
            us on track through it all.
            Charmaine Wright, one of my best friends, who has worked with me since the 1980s and has been instrumental in guiding Jamaican corporations to see
            the value of Pieces of Jamaica .
                                          ®
            And from the team, David I. Muir, our fearless leader in this project, whose vision started this journey more than 10 years ago, and whose photography skills
            and artistic acumen have made this something we all know will be legendary, with lots more great and unexpected milestones to come.

            David wishes to specifically thank:

            Thompson; my Witter family; my Henry family, especially Jillian and Patrick; and Charmaine Harris-Stewart of Words2Print Media for believing in me and
            motivating me to do the first book in 2012.
            And special thanks to everyone who stopped to have their picture taken, to guide us through a cave or down a pathway, who shared their warm welcomes
            and pots of deliciousness, and who helped bring this colorful collection to life in any way.



            Bless up and one love!
