Several resources were used to create PKU World Link.
The maps used came from three sources and all were used within the copyright protection laws.

US State data was obtained from www.50states.com.
Canadian Province Information came primarily from http://geography.about.com/.
Country data was obtained from http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/.
The Links section was created based on the links section of each of the websites listed.
The PKU History sources for the pictures and information are linked on webpage.
The animated characters that appear on What Is The Weather Like? are from Animation Factory.
The What Is PKU section was created with information learned from a variety of sources, including:

This website is merely a shell and would be of little use without the submission of each person whose information is presented on the website. Thank you to each and every one of you for helping to make this website a resource for people who have PKU.
Several people responded with suggestions/offers of help to my initial posting about creating a website. Special thanks goes to Ed Madden, the father of two boys who have PKU, for meeting with me in person to discuss the website and offer help. A huge thank you to Lisa Weener, one of my hockey friends. Her help is the primary reason you see the website you are looking at today.
I would be remiss if I didn't thank my Mom and Dad. I love you both more than words can say.
