I don't have this marked as having been sent. I extracted some data so cannot be sure I got it all. I know I sent it to some Gallman researchers, but cannot remember if I sent it to the whole list. I am not much of a Ryan or Gallman researcher, but the names came up in some of my research, so checked him out a couple of months ago when I was in Columbia at the State Archives.
