A very special thanks to the following for helping to make this website possible...

* CFMIT for their willingness to host this site, and especially Yvette-whose enthusiasm was always appreciated.

* The History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and especially Dr. Patricia Turner for all of her hard work and patience...at times I'm sure she wondered what she had gotten herself into!

* Heather Muir, for her dedication to helping in anyway possible, and for having such an incredible knowledge of her field that many of us have used as much as possible.

* BITS, PALS, TLTDC, and Gene Leisz. All of the technology people who helped make it possible for a computer idiot like myself to create a webpage, there are no words to express my gratitude!

* All the volunteers at the Chippewa County Historical Society, without you this project would not have happened. Thank you so much for all of your help, support, and generosity which was given freely whenever it was needed.

* Becky , Emily , and Adria...you had to put up with a lot, and thanks for listening to me stress out and worry...you guys are the best!

* To all the members of this class...Patrick, Lauren, Jeremy, Marie, John, Lisa, Carrie, Megan, and Kyle...you are the only other people who know what it took to get through this, thank you all for your input and help in the process!

* And lastly, thanks to my family. Mom, Dad, and Andy you have always been there when I needed you. Without you I would not be half the person I am today...thank you from the bottom of my heart.
