Charles Swartwout, former president of the society

For checking in on me occasionally to be sure that I had not disappeared into cyberspace or had gotten on the space ship behind Hale-Bopp. More importantly, for being a great boss from 1981-1999.

Edwin Dietz

For his having made the motion to hire the Webmaster in 1981 as he looked far into the Society's future and saw great things to come. His spirit and vision are still here in the form of this web page.

Richard Tarbell, Former First Vice President
Minisink Valley Historical Society

Mr. Tarbell deserves the bold footnote as the person who pushed for a web page for the society. To him we owe a great debt of gratitude for his wisdom and for all of the unpaid overtime that I had to perform to get this project done. May he rest in peace in his shop, overlooking the sewing machines.

Richard Roberts, Former First Vice President

For his having seconded the motion to hire me and for his constant support during the last 28 years as we have moved ahead in blazing the trail to preserve our region's history.

Janis Osborne, My Lovely Wife

Janis, who endured endless hours of my researching and creating the original version of this web site, and who at times had to sleep on my office floor to spend time with me.

Betsy and Edward Krakowiak of Port Jervis, NY.

And, most of all to our great friends Betsy and Ed for redesigning, hosting and webmastering this beautiful website as it is now. They can be contacted directly for other creative endeavors through their website at www.Mind-Site.com. We appreciate all of their hard work and generosity.
