Through their research they interviewed Robert Humphrey, Jack Bennett, Alice Koster, Bertha Neisinger, George Bunnywell, Miriam Bunnywell, Winnie Martinis and Warren Preboski. Adults who assisted with the project were Jeanette Anderson, Bill Belshaw, Dennis Day, David Dilgard, Falken Kalin, Peggy Lingenfelter, Kay Lyons, Margaret Riddle, Loren Sand, Linda Shockey, Reid Shockey and Mary Beth Van Dalen.
