I would like to thank Melissa Ide and Phyllis Perrakis for designing the first Doris Lessing Website and for providing information about the society. Credit goes to Calina Ide for the bird image, which was icon for the First Doris Lessing International Conference.    I would also like to thank Southeast Missouri State University for hosting the site and CSTL for its web support.  In particular I would like to thank Chris Callow and Sharon Miller.
