THANK YOU

Thank you to those contributing information and pictures, both in and outside of Interior Township, and friends and relatives who have played a part in the history and growth of our area. Special thanks to the Trout Creek American Legion and the Township for the use of their facilities, to Bill Besonen for computerizing address labels, to Bobbi Thompson for the cover design, to Tina Maki for collecting ads, and last, but certainly not least, to the Trout Creek History Class. Without these dedicated people this history book would not exist: Aino Besonen, Eleanor Bessen, Pat Franti, Lydia Helsius, Ray Knivila, Ellen Tahtinen, Alice Thompson, and Emmanuel Voigt.
