Most everything I do involves help from someone albeit a minor contribution.  The size of this calaboose project could not have reached its current level without help from lots of folks.  I spent last night and part of day revising my acknowledgments that are by no means totally complete.  Sometimes, I just wrote down a name and later forgot what that person actually did but I am most grateful to anyone and everyone who has been a part of this project.  There was the man in Miles who was working in his yard and when I casually mentioned why I was driving through his town he told me about the calaboose on city property “over there a few blocks.”  I remember that trip well because I was returning from giving a talk on calabooses to the historical society in San Angelo.  They put me up in one of the original officers quarters at Fort Concho and it was a great time.  On the way home, I travelled a different route and found three calabooses that I was not aware of – Miles, Rowena, and Santa Anna.

Back to my story.  I have changed the arrangement of the Acknowledgments.  Instead of organizing the people according to the county they live in, I changed it to a listing by town.  I hope that will make it easier for my readers to find their names.

Any omissions are purely accidental and I am more than happy to make any corrections are add anyone left out by mistake.
