Acknowledgments
We give special thanks to John W. Zimmerman, Kim Ward, Paul Bata, Cortny Bates, and Lita Watson. Mr. Zimmerman’s enthusiasm and knowledge of local history led Laura and I to important sources we would have not otherwise uncovered. Ms. Ward also graciously shared her knowledge of Call Field and where to obtain additional research. Mr. Paul Bata allowed us to use his data and map regarding Call Field’s buildings. Ms. Cortny Bates permitted us to digitize the Call Field Engineer and Call Field Stabilizer. Ms. Lita Watson contributed to our research success by granting us access to the Wichita County Archives and to the records so essential to our project. In addition, Laura and I thank Dr. Leland Turner for his continual advice and support.
