Special Thanks

As with a family, no one person makes a project completely on his or her own. Take any famous person, known for great contributions, and behind that man or woman were other people training, nurturing, contributing, communicating with and participating in that person's life. This is certainly true for the pages you see on the Gable Reunion website.

The following have helped me out by notes, letters, emails and personal interviews to help me disseminate this information to you. This isn't an Academy Award speech, so if I've forgotten you, I want to put your name here. Let me know--I don't want to forget anyone!

In no particular order:

• Norman Gable, Anthony Massesa, and Curt Reinik for working intensely on the Gable family tree
• Stanley Degler, for accurate reporting of my errors
• Florence Schlicher, for extensive knowlege of the Willoughby Gable clan, and sending all those obituaries to me over the years
• William Schlicher, for documenting previous Reunions with his camera and sharing them, and for being just a really sweet guy!
• William and Florence Schlicher, for the use of their farm every year
• Anne Follweiler, for the extensive historical work done on her clan and line and then sharing it with me
• Abigail, Elisabeth, Micaiah, Tabitha and Simeon Schlicher, for letting Mommy work on this project for much of the summer 2004
• Darryl Schlicher, not just a "husband extraordinaire," but a dependable web wizard who looked at an awful lot of code to find my bugs!
• All of the family members who have served the Reunion on the Executive Committee. Thanks especially to the meeting minute-takers. Who knew you'd be recording history for this site?
• Mark Minerd, whose own genealogical website provided much inspiration and conceptual planning for this site. (www.minerd.com)
• Bill Kratzer, an HTML genius! No stylesheet is safe in your presence! The W3C bows down to you! :=)
• Christopher Garrett, who far exceeded a browser testing request! Watch for him on future Academy Awards ceremonies...
• Mickey and Nancy Wutka, for photos!
• (Kathy) Gable Young, for pictures and stories!
• LiquidWholeFood.com for donating labor and supplies for the annual newsletter, Gable Reunion News.
• Lowell Hawk, for donating his father's extensive research on the Gable Family before our patriarch. This information will serve us in generations to come.
