JOHN ZARITSKY:
I'd like to thank a group of my colleagues and friends: Ian Parker, Brian Vallee, John Griffin, Dick France, Don McElligott and Gordon McClellan -- a group of talented professionals who made "Just Another Missing Kid." I'm grateful to Glenn Sarty and Bill Morgan and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who gave me the opportunity and the money to make this film. I appreciate and am eternally grateful to my wife Virginia Storring for her advice and support. And finally I'd like to thank America's wisest private detective, Jim Conway, up in Storrs, Connecticut, as well as two dedicated policemen in Maine, Charles Stevens* and Kent Taylor*, who did everything to make sure that Eric Wilson didn't remain just another missing kid. Thank you very much.
