This page is to Thank those who have encouraged me to continue with my attempts to document in one place the information on my father, Joaquin Arnett Jr. And the achievements of The Bean Bandits of San Diego.

First is my very first contact with Richard Parks. I sent him an email asking for where I might find a magazine. He not only gave me the information but he contacted me personally and gave me wonderful tibits of information and other resources that have since given me the confidence to leap ahead and do the writing.

Since he has contacted me I have had several very informative conversations and his I have collected numerous articles on the Bean Bandits featuring my father.

Thanks to Bill Freeman who had methodically scanned these and gave me a flash drive with all the wonderful articles. I could not possibly have remembered all of them.

I have some of the trophies dad won with the bean bandits
