BARBARA SCHOCK:
The subject of this film, my mother, is in the audience, and I think she's probably fainted. We'd like to thank our cinematographer Chris Manley. Rex Pickett, for his wonderful screenplay. Our lovely lead actress Helen Stenborg. My deepest thanks goes to our executive producer and my husband, John Martin, for helping me think straight and making everything possible. And to my family and friends, whose support has been so unwavering. I've dreamed of giving something in return. This is for my mom and dad and for all the talented people who helped us make this film.

TAMMY TIEHEL:
Thanks also so much to the bikers who helped us out. And I'd like to personally thank my family: Bob and Pat Tiehel, my sisters, my grandmothers, everybody who's watching me in Ridley Park, my husband Bill Stedman. And Keith Smith and Rick Worley*. Thank you so much.
