Jim Blanchard, for explaining manufacturing processes and their change, and finding records pertaining to some 100,000 chips ordered by Borland (and he has only scratched the surface)
Bill Ludlow, casino exec at the Castaways for providing a set of chips "as used on the closing day"
Janice O'Neal for providing me with my first 'Osborne' chips, fresh out of Jerry Wall's inventory while she was at GGS, and unknowingly, her annotations on the Wall consignment, some of which still exist and which I saw last week
Those that dealt with Borland regularly in the early days like Jim Kruse and Kenny Francis.
The unnamed person that brokered deals with Jerry Wall for a lot of the chips concerned and provided other valuable info.
The unnamed person that uncovered the 'cache' of Borland chips for us a couple of years ago and still retains an inventory of most of the chips involved.
Your 2nd BJ salesman, must have been my late 53rd cousin, Daryl Spragg
Plenty others I cant think of or cant name
