Web Requests:

While the World Wide Web now has a vast amount of information on things that happened before its invention, there are still many things that have no web presence at all. I created this page for the search engines to find in the hopes that someone out there with information I am looking for would come here, and then get in touch with me.

So, here are my requests for information:
