I’d like to thank and acknowledge the following people who have been instrumental in the creation of this website:
- My wife, Patty Nelson, without whose encouragement, suggestions, and collaboration this website would not have been possible.
- My friend and Juddville neighbor, Gary Schulze, whose passion for documenting and sharing Juddville history was instrumental to the creation of this website.
- Glenn Olson, a Juddville neighbor, who was generous enough to share stories about his family history and recollections of his youth in Juddville.
- Eunice Rutherford, a long-time Juddville resident who generously shared her Juddville recollections with me and other more recent residents of Juddville.
- Rebecca Carlton and Tony Staroska, owners of the Juddville Contemporary Clay Studio Gallery, who generously shared their knowledge of Juddville picked up since starting their business here in 2006.
- Deanna Clayton, the owner of Deanna Clayton Glass, who inherited some great Juddville photos when she bought her Juddville studio, and was nice enough to offer some of them for use on this website.
- Nancy Hoffmann, who spent summer vacations in the 1950s and 60s at a small cabin on Juddville Rd that her family built by hand. Nancy provided some wonderful old photos for this website and wrote a piece on Juddville that is not to be missed.
- Kathy and Al Kazenske (Kathy’s father). The Kazenske family moved to Juddville from Bensenville in 1972. They moved into the house at the intersection of Hwy 42 and Juddville Rd that housed two different restaurants in the late 90’s and early 2000’s: Theos and Villagios. They know the area and local people well and shared stories and insights about Juddville.
