The early pioneers left behind many stories for the writing of the book. With them some comparison was made to the modern

times we now live in. I would like to thank Kelly Cillis and Muriel Harper for their

kindness, my family, especially Geraldine, whose help was invaluable. To a host of friends who responded with pictures, and stories that were passed down through the generations. Your kindness was much appreciated and helped to make the stories more meaningful to write about.
