Our gratitude goes out to
• Bernard Hess, the caretaker of history in Benton, whose pictures and stories were of invaluable assistance.
• Kelly Yost, whose enthusiasm for the project was never diminished by the lack of knowledge of the subject on the part of the web master.
• Carolyn and Lee Remley who lent us the fine pictures of vintage Jamison City.
• Erik Jost, whose knowledge of HTML smoothed the road considerably. We continue to hope that he attends a college of his choice in order to develop his considerable skills.
• Stephen Becker, Camp Hill, who answered the questions we were too dumb to ask.
• Deb McHenry wife of Judson McHenry Jr., for the pictures and assistance on the McHenry Distilling project.
• Doris Harvey, for the guidance and assistance on helping to preserve the Benton heritage.
• Sheila Brandon, for the countless acts of generosity in the lending of pictures and stories.
• Tracy Fritz, for her countless hours of understanding exactly what I wanted.
