Hello:

You surely must enjoy a challenge to go after these fellows you are chasing. I spent a couple of hours with different newspaper and old magazine databases, and only found bare dribbles and mentions, without much substance. Part of the problem seems to be the lack of Chattanooga papers during the time you most desire. I thought surely I would find something of general interest, but no. Below are examples of the dribbles I did find. Perhaps one of the smart fellows on the board (and there are many) will take an interest and come to the rescue. Stay tuned.

Regards,
Hoyt Cagle
