No assistance from any government anywhere has supported the development or maintenance of this website.  And we have not asked for any help with it, either.

We have taken our lead from Mary Grant Bruce, who never sought any tax-payer support for her work.  She rose on her own merits, and no-one was able to impose mediocrity upon her.

Her son, Jon, wrote this in her eulogy.  “She died as she had lived, making her own tracks, beholden to no man, owing nothing to anyone.”
