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.
