Betty Daniel Gudat, who very graciously contributed the vintage photographs of Fort Riley, Kansas. Mrs. Gudat was born at Fort Riley and her father was stationed there until the 1920's when World War II began. Mrs. Gudat is now a resident of San Antonio, Texas. Thank you, dear reader, for your contribution!

Sarah Ann Lock, who is a descendent of the semi-ghost town of White Cloud, Kansas. Sarah added additional factional information and legends to our article. Thanks, Sarah!
