Marion,
That's quite understandable (that your feelings were hurt) given the time & energy you devote to your research. Rest assured that all of us here are very proud of you personally for getting that article published, and we look forward to your future journalistic success as well. 
This site has been an introduction to me as far as the many accomplishments of the WWII Engineers, and created a new area of interest as well. Unfortunately, I do not often come across anything new related to engineers that I can share here, so I contribute what I can in the "Anything WWII" section. I love all the Vets that contribute here as they remind me of my late father (a WWII sailor) as well as most of the WWII vets here in Ellensburg that I have had the pleasure to meet.
Jim
