You're doing fine. We generally just share thoughts with any supporting info or evidence, just like you did. Your theory sounds eminently reasonable to me. Without doing any digging I was assuming a local team from Jupiter, Florida, but I think you've got it. Now the question is could it be a major leauger who was serving during WWI?
