ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

My many acknowledgements go out to the following people who have been instrumental in the completion of Woodcutter’s Revival:

My wife, Barb, has been the most influential contributor. She encouraged me through all of the valley’s and mountain peaks of my life – all which were loosely based within the book. Not only did she live through these situations and encourage me, she ‘put up with me’ all these years. Barb has also been the one who knew of the project from the beginning and has continued to motivate me to finish it.

Gayle Schloesser has been a pastor and spiritual leader. Several of her teachings and research provided material to inpire some of the scenarios described in the later portions of the book. Gayle has also been one of the primary proof readers.

Of course, Scott spent over 360 hours illustrating the Woodcutter’s Revival. The quality and connection to the story are obvious. Scott also contributed in forty years of friendship where we learned that people do grow and learn through conversations and long walks in Muncie, Marion, Anderson, Lafayette and Fort Wayne, Indiana. There were also some hikes into the Shenandoah Mountains along the Appalachian Trail in Virginia.

Dixie Wiley has posted the illustrations on their web site. She has also put up with both illustrator and author throughout the entire production and publishing process.

Tim and Shannon also did a major task in proofreading the early manuscripts. Shannon has also been willing to coach me in social media marketing. Micah and Melinda are always available to assist with my many technological issues. Why is it that adults are hindered by the computer and the information technology, while the youth can adapt in a natural seamless connection?

Alisha Burnette read the book and asked if she could share it with her mom. He mom then wanted to share it with Alisha’s God mother. Alisha has provided encouragement, insight and assistance for setting-up my web site.

Wendy Walters has also been an encouragement and offered fantastic technical advice as the publisher. It has been inspiring to have somebody dedicated to the success of the writer, who is also knowledgeable in publishing books.
