The above is a mess and there are things missing. I couldnt find the quote where Michael talks about the origin of the Monk class for instance, which I know is there somewhere.
Some basics:
Michael Mornard (Born: 1954?)
He joined Dave Arneson's group in 1971. He was 17 at this time. In the late 1972 he joined Gary Gygax' playtest group. He introduced Phil Barker to D&D and was a player in Barker's Tekumel group. He knows Dave Wesely* and Ross Maker and also knew Dave Sutherland. Michael was the one who introduced Prof. Barker to Gary Gygax.
*Wesely was doing military service from 1970-73 and 76-77, so they problably met between 73-76, unless Mike knew Wesely before that, which seems perhaps unlikely given their age difference (Wesely was born in 1945, so 25 i 1970).

Wesely came home on leave a time or two - not sure when - but Mornard might have met him then.
