There is a typo - 6th one down under Other Notables - Kleburg should be Kleberg.

Mary, I am amazed at all the contributions you have made and the different projects you work on.

I have some suggestions regarding the format of this page. As a long-time coordinator on the Wales project, I have some experience and would be willing to assist.

What about putting the entries under each heading in alpha order?

Another format example: The Signers of the Declaration of Independence group is in the middle of the Other Notables group. It makes it looks like Oveta Hobby was a signer. As good as Oveta was, she was not that great.😊
