This timeline is dedicated to our dear collaborator, Serkan Demiral, who gave much of his time during a long battle with cancer to With Wings and Roots. Among his contributions, he was an editor for the German timeline. Serkan brought a sharp mind, a huge heart, an expanse of generosity, and wonderful sense of humor to our team. He is greatly missed.
These timelines are always evolving. We welcome your feedback and collaboration: info@withwingsandroots.com
