Brian finally got The Stud List typed up! Check out http://myweb.cableone.net/djhar7/Fricative2.htm

So I stayed up until 2am typing up the Stud List and making sure I didn't repeat anyone, but I was pretty tired, so if you see mistakes please let me know, and also If you have any names to add, let me know that too. This list needs to double in size before I leave on my mission. And that is all for today, peace out.
