Right-hand seat for the tour, except three mornings: Chemnitz in The Red Fox, Ruhland in the Spirit with Getchius, Dortmunderfeld in Poof Proof. Twenty-nine with this crew. Thirty-two in the group’s compilation — a modern count, not a paper issued at Horham. His officer serial sits before Barnes’s in the same series. He is named on the Tampa order of 30 August; Barnes is not.

Returned to England to study architecture at the University of London, then co-founded a Texas firm that designed hospitals, including Houston’s St. Luke’s and Texas Children’s.

Nine men, four totals. The compilation’s count, beside the other eight.
