MIKE COMPANY ROSTER

The roster is where all folks who want to be listed will be displayed.   If highlighted it means that an email address is active.  This will be at your choice. (For the time being, until this is in a permanent location, if you want to be included on this roster please contact Mike McFerrin and we'll add you. Thanks.)  Below the roster you will find links to biographies of some our members, listed alphabetically.  As of July 2001, we are adding our lost brothers to the roster if family members wish to be contacted.  As of December 24, 2001, there is a second table after this one....it's a list of the folks on our roster presented alphabetically, also numbered by order of appearance.  Did this to make it easier for you all to find friends. Hope it works.
