Open questions touching these claims

  • Is the Thomas N. Frisby named as counsel of record in a 1986 appellate opinion the same man as the Tyler attorney of 1984 and the 1959 judge advocate, and did he use a suffix?

    The 1959–60 Air Force Register for the date of rank; State Bar of Texas and Oklahoma Bar Association historical membership records, public and non-current fields only; and the counsel line of the February 1984 North Carolina appellate opinion, which a person must open because the page serves no body to an automated fetcher. No current record is to be published: his living status is unknown, no opened official source carries a suffix, and no city, directory entry, residence or current professional detail enters this dataset.
