The Wheeler family and friends: Thanks, Pilot

Your article ("Restoring a history," July 12, Steamboat Today) on the restoration project of the historic Hahn's Peak Schoolhouse was accurate and very appreciated. We'd like to thank the Hahn's Peak Historical Society and Marge Eardley for giving us their blessing to conduct the project and for their wonderful potluck supper provided for all of us in the schoolhouse July 11. Thanks also to Bryan Heselbach for donating and milling lumber that allowed us to continue working; to Mountain Paint for supplies; and to Steamboat Ace Hardware and Steamboat Lumber for their support of the project.
This truly was a labor of love in memory of our grandparents, James and Rose Wheeler. Their youngest son, Warren Wheeler, now 73, rang the repaired school bell for the first time in many long years to commemorate the restoration of the school to its original white exterior. Thank you for sharing our special project with your readers.
