  4. Adam, Bob and Carter, I will add your names and the ones that you have sent and post an updated version. Carter, do you remember Black’s first name?

    Everyone is invited to review this roster and submit any additions or changes. This roster was originally made by John Williamson and was on his web site. He obviously did a lot of research but I am sure there are numerous omissions. He gave permission for us to post it and was planning on updating, however, he was tragically killed in an accident this past year. Therefore, I guess it is now time to see if we can get everyone accounted for and on the roster. Your help is much appreciated.

    Update~February 13, 2010. It has come to light that this roster was originated by Dick Crawley, Blue Ghost Green, in 1988. He relates that he had it up to 225 names when John took it over.

  5. Do not know Black's first name. He was only there for a very short time before we were shot. Still loking for Bass and Black.
