--------------------------------------
Chris Leuba (correct spelling) was principal after Farkas retired but before
Clevenger (1966-) so say first couple of years of 1960's. It was quite
common for musicians to hop orchestras after only a few seasons so Binstock
and Wirth might very well have been section mates for a time. Probably the
only definitive knowledge is possessed by Stormin' Norman Schweikert though
there are list members who were in Chicago at the time.
