Hey folks, I ran across this and wouldn't have thought twice but a name jumped out at me: William B. Disbro. I do not know William's email and was wondering if someone could see if he has seen this item. On the off chance that it is his, I descided to forward the message to this list in case anyone else recognizes a surname on it.
