Bill McGregor was one of the most memorable people I've ever known, and he died in 1989. I still miss him, and I know a lot of other people do too. At one time we could all start telling "Bill stories" for hours - but we can save that for another time. The funeral was held in Marengo, attended by a large number of people, and afterwards we all went back to the property for a group photo. Behind us is the Matchbox, probably Bill's crowning achievement out of several.
I believe this photo was set up by Jim Johnson, who among his many other interests had several antique and specialty cameras of various sorts. Anyway, here we all are, and the challenge is to name as many people in this picture as we can. Frank started the process, with some help from me, and if you want to play along you can use the version below for the numbering system. Corrections and additions are welcome! Thanks to Harold Krewer for submitting several in both categories.

oops. I meant #70 as possibly John Hurkes. Sorry.
Les Ascher
Les, now that I look at him I'd say yes, that's "The Admiral."
Harold
#14 does seem to look like Jim Kehrein.
As I remember, at this event Johnson had an antique panorama camera. Mounted on a tripod, it had a motor that would rotate the camera and simultaneously advance the film. It could produce photos 2-3 feet wide.
#5 - Rex Litchfield Sr.
#34 - Ed Arnold?
39 - Joe Jonas?
#32 & 33 Warren (Bill's brother) & Bernadine McGregor

Thank you, Amanda, we appreciate that. I've updated the list. And if you have any memories of Bill McGregor you'd like to share, that would be great too.
