Research is a very thankless task. It costs money; rather than makes money. (Which undoubtedly explains why Kytherians are not very enamoured of it.)

Families make great sacrifices to help researchers realise their vision, and achieve their ends.

Merle Cork, wife of Kevin, whose Ph.D thesis - which is ostensibly about Kytherian Cinema owners and operators - is one such family member whose sacrifices have been considerable.

Upon Kevin's untimely demise, she wisely preserved intact, all his researches and his photographic record.

She also very kindly agreed to allow the Ph.D to be published on kythera-family.

We thank her profusely for this.

In many ways, she too is part of this immense labour of love which has helped to preserve a part of the Kytherian heritage which may never have been uncovered, (certainly never in the detail provided by Kevin), and would almost certainly have otherwise been lost.

Her two children - Julie Lee, and Stuart Cork, are also part of this process.
[Photographs of all family members have been posted to the web-site.]

We thank the family very much.
