kaneclan 0 #3 July 14, 2003 Thanks Sparky, but I'm looking for the list of names of Award holders, specifically, the SCS & NSCR. Pat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nightjumps 1 #4 July 14, 2003 The list is quite long and the majority of names are on paper. I developed the website a couple of years ago for Bill using Frontpage so he could learn to administer the site and update it on a regular basis himself. He & I talked the other day about this again and he has started recording the vertical awards on soft copies. But the old SCR & nSCR names would take forever. The vertical awardees will and are hosted at www.freeflyers.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mjosparky 4 #5 July 14, 2003 Use the Contact link and see if Bill can get a copy to you.

There are thousands of Freak Brothers, but someone took the time to put all the names into a database (see www.freak-brother.com)...
