       ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Without question, books of this nature are impossible to author without significant contributions from those in the hobby.

      Thanks go out to Lon Seigworth, Roy Diehl, Robert Fuller, Bill Lukonis, Barry Bagus, Lisa Jenrette, Ike Ricchio, Ron Hanzal, Ralph Barbagallo, Richard Miller, Mike Malone, Frank Dulles, Tom Duray, Grady Helseth, Rick Parker, Mark Weisseg, Brandon Beale, Geoff Stunkard, Dirk Schluter, Diego Rosenberg, Alan Earman, Glen Cook, Eric Douthitt, Robert Bernstein, Steven Logan, Craig King, Dave Smith, Wesley Areford, Bob Boudreau, David Gazaway Jr, Verne Frantz, Frank Badelson, Aleta Lazarich, Darlene Deschambeault, Robert Bray, Kathy Johnson Kramer, Scotty Lachenauer, Barbara Cherry, Mark Cherry, Joe Holtzclaw, David B Travel Adolphus, RK Motors Charlotte, Richard Blank, Charles Carpenter, Rick Parker, Johnny Martin, Tom West, and Heidi Jenkins.

      Doug Hammer has been a vital source of information regarding special paint colors, VONs, and engine codes. His willingness to share his knowledge is very much appreciated.

      Dan Pausch has offered his technical assistance on this book. At times his Inbox was full of queries from me and he’s answered them all. Thanks a bunch, Dan!

      John Manship’s survivor car has been a continued source for research and information. His memorabilia collection is seen throughout this book.

      Michael Belcarz, who’s owned a Road Runner or two, has been a wealth of information regarding the early promotional convertibles and has contributed some great photos for this book.

      And last; well, first, thanks to Jack Smith. Jack and Gordon Cherry are the two men who brought the Road Runner to reality through hard work and an unwavering persistence to never give up. Jack, at 93, has been a continued wealth of information throughout this project. Our conversations typically go well past an hour when we chat and without these two there would never have been a Road Runner, let alone a book on the 1969 models.

      Publisher’s Note: In reporting history, the images required to tell the tale will vary greatly in quality, especially by modern photographic standards. While some images in this volume are not up to those digital standards, we have included them, as we feel they are an important element in telling the story.
