First and foremost I would like to thank Al Savolaine for sitting down at the Burrowes Mansion Museum to talk history with me. I would also like to thank the two other docents of the Burrowes Mansion Museum, Julius and Nancy, as well as Terri, who is a volunteer at the Burrowes Mansion Museum. If you ever find yourself in Matawan, please go check out the Burrowes Mansion Museum.

This episode would not have been possible if it had not been for the technical support of my good friend Peter Lloyd of One Stone Recording. Pete mixed and cleaned up the original recordings into the great episode that you can stream above.

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank all of my readers and listeners - Especially those who submitted questions for this month's segment of Let's Talk History.
