Incomplete Timeline part 2.

This is everything I have so far.. missing the middle. If anyone can clarify some dates and point me to pages, especially Karen's birthday, I'd be grateful.

You forgot to put down Tom's birthday as the same day as Navy's. Remember, they were twins.

Ah-HaH! found the timeline! How about Whalestoe-related dates? I don't think there's an exact date of when it was shut down... P503 - July 1, 1998: Much to my surprise it was dead. Closed in April over 5 years ago.

So in April 1993 the Whalestoe had already ceased to exist, but that's all I have.

[Lillie]

Looking for more dates.

[Zar23]

don't have the whalestoe letters yet, unfortunately...

if you're interested in contributing to the faq...
