[First initial of second name] [Where the constructor lived] Herb Risteen of Baraboo, Wisconsin was H.R. Baraboo, Jack Luzzatto was J.L. Wilkinson [he lived on Wilkinson Avenue in the Bronx, where I visited him on the way back from the White Plains NPL convention in 1984. It is possible that Margaret created this formula and concocted the pseudonyms. I would bet that Noel had some relevance to Erlenkotter's life. Perhaps Will has additional info on this subject.Stan Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129087420472113561noreply@blogger.com
