Thanks to Harold Kerns for his guidance and knowledge of area resources and the basin planning process. Vince Travnichek provided valuable assistance in sampling, proof reading, and advice during the basin planning process. Debbie Banks helped with sampling and worked diligently on stream gradients, channelization, and other map related information in the basin. Dave Seibel was a great help in sampling and filming the basin. Scott Ryan helped in locating sampling sites, familiarization with basin streams, and sampling in the basin. The personnel of the Ray County Natural Resources Conservation Service were most helpful and courteous in providing information pertaining to the Crooked River basin. Marilyn Taylor of the St. Joseph Museum was helpful in documenting historical information. Mike George provided useful background information on native inhabitants that were in the area before and during settlement. Thanks also to Missouri Department of Conservation personnel and other contributors too numerous to mention.
