Acknowledgements to VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE |
Inman, Diane Russell ; she maintains the Charles D. Inman family tree on Ancestry.com |
We need to include & give credit to the spouses & children who supported us, tolerated us & even occasionally helped us over the years. The names of all the contributors & just plain special people are way too many to remember and identify, and after 40-50 years, I Know I am forgetting so many but, I have BEGUN to list Some of those contributors over the past years. Let it suffice to say, this is not just my work, or the work of a couple of people, but literally hundreds over the years. Without their constant vigilance, contributions (large & small), & help, we would never be able to continue to make this information more accurate and complete. And this work is never done. That means we still need every contribution, comment, & correction. My Heartfelt Thanks & Appreciation to Each & Every Contributor over these many years & hopefully, to continue into the future.. :-) I would like to take this opportunity to especially thank Elton C. Bingham, who has taken over the entire Huge Clark/Clarkston database & research Project. He is such an asset, the perfect leader to spearhead our project ... exceedling thorough and painstakingly accurate. We can be proud and relieved to have his caliber of a younger generation to take over at a time when some of us need to try to graciously bow out. It is such a relief to all of us to know that our life's work and passion will be carried on, and often, even better than we did it. Thank You Elton. |
