Research notes

  • Dan Gross's research spreadsheet (DEMOGRAPHICS.csv, row 10239) appends Died 1943? to the middle initial, an unconfirmed note that he may have died in 1943. The same row records overseas service (overseas flag Y, assignment IV-711) and certificate 3420, and the museum Classes 1–31 roster lists him in Class 10 (row 248), so the death note is doubtful and has not been put in the infobox.
