Anyone have any history on these guys:

"Wild" Bill Haynie - Double Jumper (intentional cutaway? :o)
Ray Morders
Eddie Butler - Instructor (any relation to Manley?)
Kim Scribner
Al Hines - Delayed Jumper (freefall? :o)

See attached.

I found some of my material about these guys, and others, from pre-WWII jumping in and around DC. One of their exhibition jumps had them listed in the newspaper ads as "Angels from Hell". Drop me an e-mail and I can arrange to get the info to you.
