The committee expresses gratitude to all who helped, some of whom are listed below. We have received both names and information, which could not be included but were valuable contributions and we regret not being able to include every item. We hope that this small volume is just the beginning of a continuing effort to recognize the contributions of both men and women to the development of our community.
