Several still alive from '50 Bowman, but best I can tell Curt Simmons is the only living player in the '49 set.
Robert, thank you for the link and I think you are correct. With a nod to Leon's mention of Eddie Robinson in the 1947-1966 Exhibits. It looks like Johnny Groth was also in that set.

Very interesting, only three of them left from the 1940's. Thanks much for the help.
