Hi All,
This is for the old heads that worked on the Q. On the attached image, are you able to match any of the following names from Louis to the folks and the numbers I’ve added to the photo? Those at the table I believe are good, it’s the standing folks we are
having a difficult time with as we know almost none of these folks.
