  Bob Corbett says: I am deeply indebted to Louis Schmidt for his foundation work on Dogtown on which I have built. Louis is now retired and living in Branson, but he was born and raised on Brock, just up the hill from Dale. A few years ago he began working on Dogtown history and allowed me to post lots of his work on my Dogtown website. See    for the full list of his earlier essays
