Carol >North could be Andre Norton, except that she is depicted as rather young. Joe Ransom is probably Jim Ransom, who is a friend of mine and a good friend of Jerry's as well. He lives in LA. With the clues about white hair and a gaudy vest, Bob Burnham HAS to be Bob Forward, who has white hair and a wears some of the gaudiest vests I've ever seen. I'm not sure about the others. I know there's a woman who used to live in LA named Sherry A. McNeal, and she is (or was) active in the pro- space community and has edited at least one book on the subject.
