We thought he was only there for 1 year in 1966 but this is already August of 1969 if it’s real. If he was actually there during that time. So there’s a mystery since we’d been told he was only there for one year. Ronald Jaye’s pick, Andrew Field’s pick, Jimmy Lawson’s pick, and Little Walter, or Walter Anglin’s pick.
