NOTE: I didn't consult Jeff before making this list, which might explain
why certain people who should have been mentioned aren't listed
(my memory is lacking) -if you're one of these people, let me know.
(I don't know where to start, so I'll just start naming people in no real specific order...)
Thanks to ALL of our parents (and especially Ma and Pa Kauffman for wasting $$$$ on us and putting up with us for so long!), to the rest of our families; to the Sledge calvary: Whitney Waite and Jaime Peace; to our close friends: Mandi Brestovich (my personal psycho-analyst), Erik Somerville and Mandy Mock (and Mandy's friends), Clarence & Delvonne (our Bluegrass Booking Agents), Jason Runk and Aimee Waddell, Kirk Gaston, Kirk's parents (who let him hang out with us even after we blew up all his DJ gear!), Chad "Duma" Caruso and Angela Pruner, Barb & "Waif", Larry Medinger, Jodi Leasure, Gretchen Leasure, Hope Carol, Hope's parents (for the graduation party gig), Mandy Dean, Andy "Floyd" Hart, Jason Houck, Chris Mantini, Cory Mantini, Adam Gallo, Dave Willard, Kelly Benson, Kelly's parents, Troy Benson, Tracy Anderson, Justin Doty, Karen Peffer, Kathleen Werner, Chad Kellar (the man who introduced me to the world of N.W.A.), Mike Gadice & the 'Gang', Toby Farnsworth (for getting us to listen to Ministry before it was too cool to actually like), Kris Hickman, Dan Zoloscik, Rick Brink, Matt Brestovich, Jason Painter, Andy Kinter, Carl Gromley, Brad Roof ("is on fire"), Bob Craig (the first Hallowpalooza draftee), and (a long-distance dedication) Nathan Rebuck.
