These stories are your stories. A few minor changes may have had to be made, in spelling or punctuation, for some stories to be more readable. But those are still your stories, as you wanted to tell and pass them along to future generations. Historical authenticity cannot be guaranteed by the compilers or the publishers of this book, but the care and love that went into the writing of each story can be verified.

So many helpful people have worked on this book that it would be almost impossible to name each and every one of them. Their businesses, spouses and friends that served as contributors and volunteer workers need to be given special recognition and thanks. The listing below may have overlooked someone, I sincerely hope not, but the appreciation is the same to everyone! The friendship, love and encouragement felt during the process of putting it all together will forever be appreciated. A generous thanks to ...
