Most Common Questions

"Where can I get a picture of my recruit company?"
or " How can I locate someone from my recruit company?"


No permanent records were kept of who was in which company or of the photos that were taken.

For those who are looking for someone or a picture of their recruit company, leave a post on our discussion pages AND fill out our feedback form. Several people have been able to locate pictures through the guest book. One of our goals when the archives becomes operational is to archive photos of companies and individuals names. A searchable database of this information will be publicly available. And we'll reproduce pictures for those desiring a copy.
