Acknowledgments Suffolk River Heritage, Inc., thanks all the people and organizations that graciously shared their time, mementoes, and financial resources to make this book possible. Without their generosity the heritage of the Churchland/West Norfolk/Western Branch/Bowers Hill communities might fade into the past as the memories of its children dim.

We especially want to thank the following for contributing to the production of Truckin’ on the Western Branch.
