Dear John,
Ed Kane, I believe, is a member of the Class of 1951 and Bill Harrington is a member of the Class of 1953. So there is no reason not to push it.
Mike
[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. ]

[JR: So we have a conflict. Did he graduate or not? And, if he didn't, it's interesting that two Jaspers were obviously close to and trusted by him. Sorry to have missed capturing his story. I think it would have been instructive and interesting. Another missed opportunity.
Kane, Ed [MC1951]
Harrington, Bill [MC1953]
[JR: I have applaud my "ace resource" McEneney, Mike (MC1953) without whom this story would be in the recycle bin!]
