Thanks to Lawrence (Larry) Sorgen who has been a member of the Chatuge Gun Club from the beginning. 
Larry has graciously done all the memory work to put names to the shooters back in day.

If you know the names of anyone in the photos below, please let me know so I can list it.

"A lot of the group shots were taken at our fund raising trap shoots with many shooters who were not club members but came out for the competition.   That is how we got the money to build the range.  I can also say that I'm too old to remember some of the names though I do recall most of the faces of those that helped us get the Club and the range established."  Larry Sorgen
