At least that was what he told me.
Listing names seems to me out of the question. When you have something to say to these old veterans and that message is of interest to them, they will respond. No need to create a public hit list...

I do agree with Franek and you. My point only beeing that there is a difference in having a genuine interest in their story or only beeing after signed photoes. I also found those I have visited/corresponded with were very keen in assisting my research!!!!
