Probably Dead

We cannot confirm death dates for:

• Les Cole — precise date of death?
• Jean Cox — precise date of death?
• Eunice Guyy — Did she exist? No evidence in Ancestry.com or newspapers.com, several named Eunice Guy, even one in Illinois born long before 1925.
• Reta Grossman — John Grossman had a younger sister named Ruth Joanne Grossman. Maybe "Reta" was a fan name or a cousin? newspapers.com had several Reta Grossmans.
• Harry Honig
• Barbi Johnson — not sure of correct birthdate, either.
• Joseph Howard Krucher - Likely dead; no info in ancestry.com or newspapers.com after the 1940s.
• Earl Perry — alive in Dallas in 1961, but not by his son's wedding in 1971.

• Honey Wood — after 1968 - Honey was at Baycon 1968, also looked under "Louise Wood" but can't find whether she's dead or alive as of 2021 (possible but unlikely).
