My Cody letter list about everything that you could think of but I thought the LC Smith people might even have some new info and thought maybe somebody on this forum has got both letters. Thanks

Yes, Jim Stubendiek (I probably butchered the spelling) does a great job, but Smith records are sometimes sketchy. The letters include period info about the grade, too. Very nice letters IF the records are there. Jim is great to work with, BTW.
