This index card came from the estate of Corson through Dr. James Lowe. I think they were very good/best friends for a long time. There is so much about the history of the hobby we don't know. There really isn't a ton of stuff out there. Of course Burdick is studied quite a bit but not so much the other forefathers of the hobby. And it wasn't Wharton-Tigar though that was a good guess. And no "spraying and praying" of names just to try to win. So far the guesses have been legit. (right Teddy?)
