I have never been able to determine why there is no McKechnie or Waner. McKechnie died about one month after attneding 1965 induction ceremonies, so it is clear the "new" plaques were not issued during induction ceremonies. Perhaps they came out after McKechnie death in August and before Waner died in October. Maybe there are no Waners becuase he was too ill to sign any. I just do not know I asked the Hall when the "new" plaques were issued, but no one there knows.

Keri - I would love to see a scan of that Schalk plak for my exemplar files.
Thanks very much.
