The lists in this article that I have downloaded and want to share with you were compiled by Don Reid, Harold Reid and Larry Lee. ( I never heard of them either but due acknowledgement must be paid.) I came across it in 2006 but most of the things in it date from an earlier era. Perhaps some of you are old enough to remember a few of them, and perhaps—even better—they will take you on a trip up or down memory lane. I will try to refrain from adding my own comments, but I have added a few items.
