I had to have this book because it helps me remember all the things that I had forgotten. I know so many of the people written about in Shauns book. including my cousin. Jacob Schick. Its a beautifully written book and if you are a Coppelian or know someone from Coppell or just enjoy history. this is a great book to have in your library.
