Earl R. Storms (b. 1940) graduated from Ball State University in 1966, and held graduate degrees from Purdue and Indiana State. He was a school teacher in Perrysville and, for a time, the owner-publisher of the Herald-News (Cayuga, Ind.). He inscribed the book to Gene Daniels, who appears to have been born in 1923 and raised in both Highland Township and the Perrysville/Covington area.
