Charlie, Yes, this is from the notebook that Hellstrom had put together about the time he was getting ready to retire (late 1950s?) as he planned to write a History of S&W, but died before he was able to do it. I know that some of the dates & events in the notebook are close, but not exact, when compared to other info. has come to light. I think the info he had put in the notebook was sort of an outine format of events, etc. Irregardless, we are fortunate to have this much data, as all of Hellstrom's private coorespondence and records were destroyed by an over eager intern who was ordered to "Clean up Hellstrom's office!" after his demise.
