Add George Thomas...

Drop Maxwell Perry.  If you've seen Perry Maxwell, you've got his base covered.

George Bell?  The old Blue Jays outfielder?

You mean Billy Bell?  Or did you combine George Thomas and Billy Bell?

Charles Banks ought to be pretty far down your list.  James Braid and Javier Arana should be on it, in addition to those already named.

Add Ralph Plummer, the man did very good things with some uninteresting pieces of land.

Interesting man.  I'll add him to my "Post War Boom" list as it looks like he is mostly a mid-century architect.  Thanks
