Frank,
These were not done by Ellie, she looked at them.  I remember it being a man that was doing it so it was some other Burke.

I suspected as much, did she have no ideas?

No.  I was hoping maybe it was a relative but she had no idea.

I could check with the Stampede to see if they had records of who was coming in as vendors back in the '70's. The time would right (I graduated high school in '77). It certainly wouldn't be surprising if it was an american.
