Recognition and appreciation to those who promoted/taught an understanding of Clyde History before we began this website. a) In particular Mr George Selway who awakened in John Campbell (co-editor) an interest in Clyde history; Mr Jim Lineham who was a member of the Cranbourne Historical Society and gave much to preserving historical items; Mr Clyde Manks who passed on lots of information to Merv Campbell (and to us) and his son Daryl Manks who has instructed many primary school children about the history of Clyde township. b) Also an acknowledgement of those in previous generations who submitted articles about Clyde to The Argus, and local journals. One of these I suspect was a Mr Thornell. Does anyone have further information about subsequent reporters? |
| Thank you to all who have engaged me in conversation, a comment, a telephone call, a letter, your photos, internet exchange with snippets and sources of reliable information. Sometimes just a name, a story, an incident have led me to a better understanding and facts about the history of Clyde. Your enthusiasm and passion for historical truth has further inspired me. Thank you for the time you gave. My brother and I are so grateful. |
