Compiling a history such as this one, consists mainly of digging out bits and pieces of information. Putting them together in some semblance of order and reducing the whole thing to writing, is the simplest part of the job.
This information has come from many sources, to whom we extend deep appreciation. Among the many who have been helpful, are Kemp Hawkins, Clyson and Ethel Coffin, Dick Ames, Nellie Boyles, Al Watts, Tim Watts and Albert Smalley. Particular thanks go to Bill Metzger for his help with the photography.
