This page contains a partial list of the codes and various sources from which information has been obtained to date. The entire list which is quite extensive is contained in the sources master file.
Many thanks are due to the late Richard Reed, son of John Reed, 7-A, for providing a large portion of the data. There is no way we can thank him enough for his significant contributions to this project.
