This website is not filled with my work alone. While I may do the work and design for the site, I have a great group of people, both family members and friends who have contributed from their personal collections and trees. While there are mentions to them on other pages, I think this space should also be used to thank each of them. I owe these folks a great debt for teaching me more than I could ever have learned myself:
• Dennis Sedgwick • Elizabeth Ann Withrow-Thayer
• Velma Vinton Onstott • Nellie Graham Lowry • Ruth Ann Smith
• Gabrielle Bryant • Margaret Benefiel • Margaret Ann Meyer-Bavolek • Paul Campbell
• Marbeth Sedgwick-Powell • Ray Todd Knight • Millard Maynard
• Donald Pond • Ronda Savey • Gary Sahlstrom • Jacqueline W. Lawson-Nair
• Charlene Farnsworth Jones • Virgil Hoftiezer
• Teresa Lynne Graham • Tamara Lynn Truman-Bryan
• Ron Elliot • John Herndon • Rebecca Wilson
• Jerold White • Joyce Talbot • Walt Eggert
• Sr. Joan Therese, SND • Linda Pearsall
&
Of course, Ilene Marietta Wright-Gallegos and William Carlton Wright, my beautiful grandmother and wise grand uncle, the original curators of our family stories and images. Were it not for them, this site would not exist.
If I forgot anyone, please let me know. It was not intentional. And, I want to make sure I give credit where it is due.
Mike
