Kino Bay Chronicle

Afterword

Much more could be written about Kino history and about Club Deportivo which has become part of that history. As we looked through old accounts and talked with early residents and visitors, we encountered many tantalizing leads which, if pursued, would each make another publication. We'll leave it to professional historians to do that.

What we have done with the history of Club Deportivo is just to assemble and preserve pertinent facts about its origins and purpose before too many details are lost.

We hope this account will provide, at the same time, more understanding and appreciation of the Kino Bay area, its people and their rich history and culture.

Acknowledgments: Our thanks to the many people who helped with this project, sharing photos, recollections and historical materials and providing leads. Tony Zepeda helped us locate photos and other materials from Club files and provided helpful Mexican history facts. Special thanks to Ernie Wells who undertook the laborious task of gleaning pertinent facts from years of Club records, to Don Haden for use of his collection of Club newsletters, and to Mary Hardy for her typing skills.
