Credits and Thanks

We'd like to thank all those members of the Wilson County community who helped us in our quest to learn about our past.  Many individuals gave us their time and their memories, and we cannot mention them all here.  Some, however, deserve special appreciation.  They include: L. Newnam and J. Fietsam for helping Mrs. Berger get started and knowing who to call; T. Read for being willing to be called and for so much help proofreading; V. Duff, our Wilson County librarian who knew where to look things up; F. Randall and J. Witten for the historic Wilson County photographs; Mrs. Randall again for permission to use the Wilson County seal, along with L. Stadler, and H. Hamilton who helped create it;  the numerous courthouse officials who helped with research on that building; those who gave tours of the Old Jailhouse Museum;  all those individuals, named and anonymous, who were willing to be interviewed; the many parents who took time and trouble to create the individual reports.   Citation of specific sources such as books, newspapers, web pages, etc. are found on individual student web pages.
