New updates, identifications, corrections, May 2025

Taking some time and looking back to fill in some holes or close some things out.

DETAILS ADDED:

John Brunner, EPBL - Died April 23, 2025

Ken DePoe, EPBL - Died May 14, 2025

George Garber, ABL - added middle name, place of death, corrected birthdate

Don Keener, EPBL - Died March 5, 2025

Harry Platt, ABL - added place of birth

Burt Silverman, EPBL, ABL - added date of birth, died May 8, 2025

PROPERLY IDENTIFIED:


CORRECTED:


NEW LEADS UNRESOLVED:

Don Walsh, NBL - Other sites have this player listed as Donald Wilkinson Walsh, but I am not sold. An article in Berwyn Life from February 24, 1939 mentions a pair of basketball-playing brothers named Don and Lionel Walsh, playing for the local Cicero team. If this Don Walsh is the Kankakee Trojans Don Walsh, that means this player is Donald Thomas Walsh (1917-1996), not Donald Wilkinson Walsh.
