My Personal "Thank You"
to people who decided to help me to make a difference:
"Thank for making all the smiles, laughter and wishes come true for our very special kids, and creating memories that are cherished by the families forever." Linda
There are many people I would like to thank, but I will start with my daughter and Co-Founder "Stephanie".

I am so proud of you and of the excellent young lady you have become, and for agreeing with me that THIS is what Herbie is really all about: making kids smile & helping dreams come true.
A big thank you to Linda Pauling, founder of "Make-A-Wish". Linda, the strength I saw in you only makes people around you stronger. Your kindness makes us more humble. Chris' words "Mommy! We have a Herbie!" will never be forgotten here.
Special Thanks to Rui Cristina

Thank you to Mr. Jonathan "JC" Cloward, for giving me the chance to make a difference, and for inviting my family and I to enjoy the kindness of Disney. "JC" when it comes to the BEST people in this world, YOU are the best of the VERY best. Thank you.
Thanks to Mr. Mark Snovell, for your trust & friendship and for sharing and being able to see my vision and help me with the tools to make the journey less long and more exciting. You’re with us each step we take.
Mr. Howard Green, thanks for always taking my calls, and returning them and your kindness. Thanks for allowing me to represent Disney at events that make a difference, and also for being a friend, "Where ever Herbie goes, so goes Howard Green"
Mr. Randy White, a good friend that I always had, but took a while to find. Randy, thanks for the guidance, honesty, kindness, and friendship we've shared. Thanks for helping me Build "NASCAR 5/99". When he makes kids smile, a large part is all because of you, Randy. Anywhere, Anyplace Buddy.
Mid-America Motorworks. LeeAnn and Mike, thanks for stepping up and offering to help make it easier for folks to get their "Herbies" on the road. To help where help is needed. Thank you for all the help with parts you gave to Disney's new movie "Herbie Fully Loaded" would take pages to "fully fill".
Thanks to Ray at Alert-O-Lite "signmax!" for the great job on the decals for Herbies Heroes. You and the company always step up when I ask, thanks.
