Re: [CBQ] FW: Help with IDs?

["Fred Crissey" <fhc925@frontier.com>]

Dave and others:

I can fill in a few names.  The Meyers is Fred Meyer who was General Agent in the Traffic Dept. in Centralia, IL  

The Oslm is E. L. (Gene) Olson who was Division Freight Agent in Galesburg.

If I knew that date of the photo I could tell you which jobs the Traffic Dept. members had at the time.

Exactly!!  The numbers on the name list were what Louis sent me without anything on the photo.  The numbers/names on the list omit people in the back two rows (only 29 names vs 39 men in the photo).  I added the numbers on the photo to exactly match the names to the 39 men.  It is indeed very confusing!

The numbers on the list do not match the photo numbers. 🤔

Jim,

 

What exactly were you trying to communicate???

 

The numbers on the list that Louis provided are the confusing factor because they are all jumbled and do not match the number of men in the back two rows.  That’s why I placed numbers on the image and was hoping to find folks who still remembered some of these men and could put the names with the numbers on the photo.

Hi All,

 

In my haste to get help, I failed to mention that the numbers on the photo were added by me and DO NOT correspond to the numbers for the notes from Louis.  I hope this helps ease the confusion.  When identifying people, please associate the names with the number on the photo.

OK, I'm confused.  There are 39 numbered people in the photo, but only 29 in the IDs.  And the very few I know don't look like who they're identified as.

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.

Dave
