We wish to especially thank the following:

• Geoff Rausch and Missy Marshall, of  Marshall, Tyler, Rausch in Pittsburgh, PA, for developing conceptual plans for our property which  have greatly increased the aesthetic, recreational, and educational value for friends, family, and other visitors.
• The Alabama Forestry Commission which provides technical and fire protection support and we especially acknowledge the help of the Winston County office.
• The TREASURE Forest Association of NE Alabama - which has provided many monthly programs of great interest.

• The Hamilton, Alabama Office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service - for their  invaluable help during the design and construction of our lake (here we are using the definition of "lake" meaning "scenic pond").
