How did I sort these 190+ groups? I have designated a member (usually the lead) as the leader and have used his initials to separate groups. For instance, DW 3 would mean the third group that I entered for Deek Watson; RR 8 would mean the eighth group that I entered for Ray Richardson, etc. Unfortunately, there was much intermingling of group members and most photos aren't dated, so the numbers (for example, RR 6, RR 7, RR 8) shouldn't be taken to mean that the photos are in strict chronological order.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The research I have done has introduced me to numerous Ink Spots fans, experts and collectors. It has given me the opportunity to meet some collectors who are as fanatical as I am about the Ink Spots. Although there have been countless contacts and helpers, the people listed below have given me substantial information thru their tireless efforts. They continue to be a great help in my never-ending research.
