Whenever I work on an individual's history, I'm always in awe and amazement at what they accomplished during their lives, BUT the VAST majority of them went about their daily lives and never received any recognition about what they did - and MOST of them NEVER sought recognition or thanks - just the humble Salt of the Earth."
BUT I'm trying to honor the past citizens of Manning as best I can and would be able to make a lot more tributes IF their children/grandchildren/relatives would come forward and share what they have with me to scan.

I hope everyone will take the time to read the school notes I linked below. It sometimes takes me hours to go through the various files I have and edit them for web viewing, so you can take some of your time to read through the articles.
Take note of how active Bill Enenbach was in school - beyond sports.

These pictures I scanned are from various collections and people who shared with me over the decades, which I spent THOUSANDS of hours working on.
