INFORMATION - 
     There have been questions as to why resumes of the HOF members are not included with the pictures. As most of the HOF members came from the old manual yearbook, where that would have been excessive information, it would not be equitable to the HOF members unless all had resumes included. Many have been lost over the years and most of the information has not been kept current. Unfortunately, most is not available.
