Undoubtedly, we will miss some of those who deserve special commendation, and for this we apologize. And, of course, it goes without saying that each and every LP state chairman deserves the special thanks of all libertarians everywhere. | Undoubtedly, we will miss some of those who deserve special commendation, and for this we apologize.

To turn to specifics, however, it should be obvious that the very deepest thanks should go to our Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates, Dr. John Hospers and Mrs. Tonie Nathan. | To turn to specifics, however, it should be obvious that the very deepest thanks should go to our Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates, Dr. [[John Hospers]] and Mrs. [[Tonie Nathan]]. | ||
John and Tonie had the courage to accept the nominations of a previously unheard-of party, thus subjecting themselves to scorn and abuse on the part of many people, and incurring an obligation to spend literally thousands of hours of their own time on a venture that offered them no immediate personal gain. There will be others who take up the banner they carried, in future years, but they were the first — and for this they deserve our special and undying appreciation. | John and Tonie had the courage to accept the nominations of a previously unheard-of party, thus subjecting themselves to scorn and abuse on the part of many people, and incurring an obligation to spend literally thousands of hours of their own time on a venture that offered them no immediate personal gain.

Second only to the thanks owed John and Tonie are those owed to Bill Susel and Ed Crane, who served as the campaign managers for the two candidates respectively, spending great amounts of their own time and money in the process. | Second only to the thanks owed John and Tonie are those owed to [[Bill Susel]] and [[Ed Crane]], who served as the campaign managers for the two candidates respectively, spending great amounts of their own time and money in the process. | ||
Special thanks are also owed to the many people who performed various services for the LP and its candidates. Among these are Dr. Marvin Edwards in Oklahoma, Georgiann Trammell in Texas, Andrew and Priscilla Ketchen and Ken and Cynthia Knapton in New Hampshire, and Winston Duke in Illinois, all of whom were responsible for providing facilities, raising funds, and arranging publicity for John and Tonie while they were on tour in those respective states. | Special thanks are also owed to the many people who performed various services for the LP and its candidates.

Two other individuals who deserve special mention are Jim Davidson, in Washington DC, who sent out a mailing to 7,000 libertarians at his own expense, and Taya Boyls in Colorado, who oversaw the operation of the Campaign Fund, a task which included the sending of over 150 "thank-you" letters. | Two other individuals who deserve special mention are [[Jim Davidson]], in Washington DC, who sent out a mailing to 7,000 libertarians at his own expense, and [[Taya Boyls]] in Colorado, who oversaw the operation of the Campaign Fund, a task which included the sending of over 150 "thank-you" letters. | ||
