I did find he started at FL on May 10, 1976. -Jake Lamkins (4/28/18) Sorry I am just now responding but been a bit overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. Hoping to have an obituary out soon but I can confirm that picture is of my dad. I will try and get you more details as soon as I can. He passed away here in Sun City AZ the morning of 4/23/18.
