In mid-2020, we finally connected and Ivan with the help of his wife, Deanna, said he would contribute articles for our site. Needless to say we are humbled by his contributions. He has submitted numerous biographies and allowed us to embellish them a bit based on what is in the collection we have and from other research. Below is a list of the articles he has contributed for you to peruse. Click on the name to read the article/biography.
