Thank you to everyone for sharing your thoughts and memories of Dad! Means more than you will ever know...

It has been some time since I last visited this site. I miss and think of Zach often. My thoughts and prayers continue for his family.

What a shock it was to hear about Zach! I had the honor of knowing him for the past 15 years. During the first 8 of those years I had the pleasure of working with him on many joint projects, when I was managing the Chamber of Commerce in Oklahoma City.

I worked briefly at ACOG during the mid 1980’s. I was a graduate student at OU and applied for an internship with ACOG during my program of study. While I only spent about a year there, I spent the next ten or fifteen looking for another organization with such a great director. Zach was always available...
