(EDITORS NOTE: Our thanks for this information goes to member Mary Echols. When you review this, it is our hope that you take into consideration the time in which this collection was made. The country was struggling from the effects of a severe recession at this time and the contributions made by the individuals in this tabulation represented a degree of sacrifice and dedication to community that may be difficult to understand in today's world. For those of us who were there at that time, young though we may have been, it is easier to understand because the problems of that period were burned deeply into our memories.)
