Sonny & All,
Sven Johnson is from NJ & is President of the Red Ball Military Transport
Club in Pennsylvania
Greg Wolanin is from Upstate NY - Near Albany (I think)
Jim Dias is from California
Al Nicholson is from Alberta Canada
I know Sven & Greg go to Beltring. Not sure of Jim & Al.
To my knowledge they are all avid collectors & extremely knowledgeable.
Hope that helps.
