David Lewis Bourquin (1884-1969) - T209er

You've done it again.

Your leg work is beyond description.

It all started with a question about Bourquoise to bourquin to Burke in Fulton.

The usual suspects came out of the woodwork.
Shawn Columbo from GA ... Rhett Charlie Chan from CA, and now Tom Sherloch Holmes ..... You guys make me feel like Inspector Cleuseau.

Tom, thanks for joining in.

On to Fulton!

Great detective work Tom. If it's NOT him, I'd like to see the other candidate...

I am sure a few folks on our board really appreciate the legwork, myself included. BTW, I just joined your fine organization recently, SABR. I didn't realize until recently that Dan D was a founding member of it, as he also just recently signed up for our Net54baseball.com board and is selling some of his memorabilia/photo collection. Take care and thanks again for the great T209 info....

That's some awesome detective work. And to think I let my SABR membership lapse.

Tom, I couldn't be more impressed if you signed Bourquise/Bourquin up as a member. Many thanks.

Speaking of which I still shiver with chagrin at visiting the HOF library in 1973 and seeing a membership poster for SABR and thinking "I'll sign up next month maybe." I wouldve been member 90 or something. Instead I waited until the ripe old age of 25.

I'm a member of SABR for three more years than I originally planned; and seeing Tom's work reminds me of why that was the best mistake I ever made

great research and efforts!!!

I must say that the story about David Sr. was absolutely shocking and heartwrenching.
