Coach Cummings made incredible contribution

A huge thank you goes out to all who helped me with the articles and forthcoming book about our legendary swim coach Benner T. Cummings. It is all dedicated to Coach Benner T. Cummings and each of the 48 members of the Ritzville Swim Club from 1952 through 1965.

Special acknowledgments are offered to Gordon Gering, Doug Thiel, Vern Kiehn, John Tanner, Tom Thomas, Tom Baumann, Brian Miller, and the legend himself, Benner T. Cummings, for their many interesting recollections.

Thank you to the publishers and reporters of the Ritzville Adams County Journal for their extensive and fascinating cover...
