There's mention of him at their webpage entry which is currently at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/richard/aqwg39.htm and refers to The Sisson Newsletter, vol. 8, No. 1. This is also in the book _Descendants of Richard and Mary Sisson_ on pp. 220-221. A story on this was copyrighted by the Los Angeles Times in 1968, and used as part of a series of columns called "They Had a Dream". Carol Sisson Regehr Sisson-L list mom -- [email protected]
