Peter Bergman and Phil Austin died around 2012 or so. Austin (I think) was the youngest, so Phil Proctor and David Ossman must be pretty damned old now. I have all the albums as well as a copy of their movie, J-Men Forever, which we saw every time it played on Night Flight.

Amazing how many Fireheads I’ve run into over the years.

More sugar!!
