STATE TOURNAMENT RECORDS:
This book was a joint effort of the Potts family.
Merlin Potts serves as Chair of the Kansas State
Horseshoe Pitchers Association Hall of Fame Committee.
Roger Potts, KHPA Historian, wrote the individual
commentaries, using primarily his personal knowledge
of the Hall of Fame members; he also compiled the
records from several sources, including State
Tournament results as reported in the KHPA Newsletter
and World Tournament results as reported in the NHPA
Newsline. Diane Potts scanned photos and composed pages.
