Special "Thank You"s
for the 2005 Bieber Cleanup.
So many people donated their time and effort to the cleanup
that names are too numerous to publish.
However, there are a few people who deserve extra credit
for their donations of heavy equipment or special services
and
their names are listed on this page.
I apologize if I've missed some. If you know of someone who
deserves to be listed here, let me know
