See post #3,635 in this thread, for the updated original question post. Technically, you replied to a question post, albeit a re-posting with hints, so you don't get one and a half lines of Robert De Niro.

I missed Dick Schofield, so there are eighteen still unidentified. I'll post the Stumps sometime after noon on Friday.
