Wow. So it’s Good People Day today, as Dino mentioned. I apologize for these coming at you so late, but we were late in finding out about it. But still, it’s an amazingly cool opportunity for us to step back and reflect on the good things we’re doing (or trying to do). Furthermore, we’re just two days past the six-month anniversary of Citizen Wausau, and so this comes at a time when I’m very excited about what we’ve accomplished so far.
It’s only fair at this point to follow in Dino’s footsteps and give a little thanks to the people who’ve gotten us this far. Stop me if this starts to sound like one of those hip-hop songs.
And before I get into it, Dino is the one who deserves the most thanks. He is a content machine, giving us things to talk about where before there were none. He also has my tremendous gratitude for dealing with my ever-changing moods on a daily basis; talking me into the good ideas and out of the bad ones. Without him, there’d be no Citizen Wausau. Thanks Dino!
Others include:
- Bill Coady the grandfather of Wausau Blogging
- Tom Neal, for his continued help and guidance
- Paul Farning, for getting me into WordPress
- Rob Mentzer, for his friendship and constant linking
- Wausau Daily Herald & The City Pages, for giving us some attention at the very beginning
- Gary Barden, Deb Hadley, & Mayor Tipple for taking the time to talk with us
- Abe Gabor, for being Abe
- Pete, Jason, Chris, Joey, Jim, Becky, John, George, Lisa, Kevin, Erik, Pat, Alex and many more for the positive words at one time or another
- The Users, for giving us a reason to keep going. Thanks to those who’ve contributed articles, comments, and blogs. This site is about discussion, and we couldn’t have that without you!
A huge thanks again to everybody! We’re looking forward to making Citizen Wausau bigger and better, but we couldn’t do it without you.
PS: I know this comes hot on the heels of Dino’s post, so here’s a link if you missed it.

While I thank you for the shout out, I think I have very little to do with the Citizen Wausau idea.
I just stand on the street corner and shout from time to time.
You built the street corner.
