Max Weismann's Contributions

I would like to begin by thanking Mr. Weismann for his contributions to my blog. Mr. Weismann contacted me, via a "comment" made on Oct. 31, 2009. In return, I found Mr. Weismann's e-mail address and he and I exchanged several e-mails on November 12, 2009. He is a very nice and helpful man, who provided me with several links to videos, which I will include to my blog after I make this post. However, I just wanted to pay tribute to his contributions by adding information about Mr. Weismann, found on the website:
