Acknowledgments
Milt Adams & his staff at Beaver's Pond Press in Edina, MN, dedicated enormous amounts of time and energy to this project, as they once again guided us through the publishing process.
Sarah Norgren, senior designer for Berg Design Company in Plymouth, MN, donated her superb skills to the visual redesign of the book.
Stacey Osten, design specialist for Northern Tool + Equipment in Burnsville, MN, contributed her time and considerable talents to construction of the website.
Gene & Betti Labs, publisher & editor of the Valley News in Browns Valley, MN, helped immensely with publicity. They also contributed photographs to the project (as did others who are credited elsewhere).
Jeanette Pistorius & Mary Carlson of the Browns Valley Alumni Association were also involved in the publicity campaign, as was Mayor Jeff Backer, Jr., whose help continues to be invaluable.
Bernice Piechowski of the Browns Valley Library was instrumental in getting a fulfillment process in place. Members of several local organizations, from the Alumni Association to the Browns Valley Historical Society to the American Legion Auxiliary to local churches, also volunteered their time and talents, to help ensure that EVERY PENNY raised goes toward flood recovery.
To all of these folks, and to many others too numerous to mention, the Falkingham family says: Thank You -- for helping us help the flood victims! |
