Acknowledgements

Obviously, the people whose contributions have been key to this effort are the authors whose remembrances are included here. Thanks to each of you for taking the time to put your thoughts to paper.

But several other folks have made major contributions. My thanks to:

• Ruby Tindall, Kevin Tindall, and Debbie Horne, for making their yearbooks available to my scanner
• Bev Henn, for her initiative and organizational expertise
• MHS Yearbook staff, past and present, for capturing the man in his element
  
• The Bock Family editorial board for their helpful suggestions

And of course, thank you, Ralph Coate, for living such a wonderful story in the first place!
