Upcoming Tar and Feather Video- Need BASE #s

[Lyle Murphy 7]

OK, so I just ordered a DVD player so I could convert the John Vincent Tar and feather video. I’ve already started working on the intro and I want to pay homage to the dead.
 

I need the base numbers for

Earl Redfern (approx #70)

Lyle Murphy (approx #298-I’m not dead, but I would like to know my base number)

Garner Sapp (approx #310)

Janice (she was Earl’s girlfriend and her base number could be anywhere from the late 200s to the early 300s-I do not know if she is still living)

Gardner was base 311.

Earl Redfern was/is BASE 300.

I don’t think that can be right because my BASE number is in the 200s and he’s the one that taught me how to base jump

That sounds about right

I don't know the particulars in Earl's case, but plenty of 'experienced' jumpers don't earn BASE right away as they lack one object category. And besides the clipping from a BASE Magazine shown below, Earl is also listed as 'BASE 300' on the unofficial BASE Number List I've been keeping since the 1980s. In any case - you don't have to have a BASE number in order to mentor somebody. 

If you really want confirmation on this check with the Rick and Joy Harrison.
