Does this mean that this is the John Silvernail I knew in German/ His SOA Decade number is about right. He would be one of the original "Decade Club" members. He was a giant of a man. He would break up fights in the club by getting between the combatants so they couldn't get at each other. Like the cartoons it was as if he would hold both swinging, kicking bodies by their collars. If it was "John" he was a hell of a man.
Again: RIP.
