Dear John,

We have at least 4 John J. Powers as alum’s, but I do not believe any of them are this John J. From reading the Obit, I do not believe that he came back to Manhattan after the war.

    May He Rest In Peace.

Mike

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. Interesting. We need a way of "counting noses". Maybe I SHOULD just go ahead and do that "Jasper_Pedia" aka "manhattan_college_alumni_wiki"?]
