NOTES:

I was surprised that Mark only had this one card, but after many years I was lucky enough to track him down. I had thought he was living in Washington but in the end I found a seller who oddly posted Mark’s return envelope address on EBay.

He wrote me a very nice note and agreed with me that if the World League had just given them another year the league was really going to take off.
