Thank You, West for giving my ancestors, extended family, fellow educators, and lifelong friends a place we can always call home. Without the
community's help this gift to our schools would not be possible. Special thanks to the Urbanovsky family for sharing historical photographs created
with the loving hands of their parents & grandparents. Thank you, Mimi Montgomery Irwin, for sharing your family's unique history as the first
settlers who experienced the Comanche family living here. Much love to my kinfolks Betsy Grimm Browder, Anne & Joe Edd Grimm, Popeye &
Clarice Snokhous, Coach Poone Morgan, Clint Mashek, Jacob Mashek, brother Larry Mashek and parents Mary Eleanor Morgan and Jerry
Mashek, Sr. Blessings to special folks who supported my cause: Dr. Jan Hungate, Linn Pescaia, Wesley Bankston, Jeanette Karlik, Larry
Knapek, Nancy Hykel & the History of West Museum, WISD, Pam Gardner Dunlap, Cheryl Marak and my GoFundMe supporters. Above all, I
thank God for San, Derek San, and Trevor Guy Davis. They gave me the liberty to search, research, write, and rewrite for a year and encouraged
me to focus on the best of West's history for teaching the children of our community.
