Book page members
This group of people
could have been Riders or helpers or those who cooked food.
They are names I picked up along the way but wasn't sure what they
were doing, or I felt they did a lot and needed thanking.
American Indian Magnet School, St. Paul, who have donated through their initiative 'Pennies for Ponies'
the donation is to help the horses.

Please add on the Wopida page:
Wopila tanka to our dear relative Gloria Hazell Derby for creating
this page and creating the medium for communication amongst
the riders, the supporters and for our relatives. I took the
time this morning to go through the pages and I'm just amazed
at the content. Jim and I thank you so much and hope to see
you one day. Remember you are loved by all of us!

I am
very sorry if I have missed anyone out, I have tried my best to catch
the names of people as the day's went by, I hope next year to do better.
If you know anyone that should be on these lists please let me know
them. Thanks-
Gloria Hazell-Derby
