Mr. Trollman played a big part in making my High School days memorable. He was such a positive person & truly cared for his students. The high-light of my High School days was his class in orchestra & band. Such special memories. Sondra Chalfant Hawkins...class of '54

I grew up in Ark City under the musical direction of August Trollman and remember when Albert ran around the band hall. It was interesting to read of him and his accomplishments as an adult. May God surround you with His peace,love, and comfort at this time.
