The very positive and successful experience of the FLAMES Science 
Verification Dry Runs has undoubtedly resulted from the hard work 
(a lot!) of several people, who I would like to personally thank. 

First of all, my thanks go to all the FLAMES SV Team members for 
having proposed and developed the science cases, in a very flexible 
and timely manner. 

Special thanks go to the ESO Fellows Marina Rejkuba, Manuela Zoccali, 
Nicolas Cretton and Claudio Melo for having taken extra work-loads 
at different stages of the entire process (support and interaction 
with the external PIs, assembling of the Web pages, preparation and 
execution of the observations, data-reduction and quick-look quality 
checks). 

Deep thanks go to the Paranal FLAMES SV Team for having been able 
to work in such a positive, friendly, and constructive team spirit 
for all 10 nights of observations. 

Final thanks go to the ESO/ST-ECF Science Archive for their help 
and availability in preparing all the data packages on a timescale 
shorter than usual.
