Ken, I know almost all of them and here are a few comments.

Ivan is a great one,not well known, I'd like to have that one grown for me some time.

Marvin Marvel, Ph.D. Had to Google him and found him in Fort Collins, CO, as a therapist,but what's the connection with tomatoes?

It was Alan Kapuler at Peace Seeds who bred the red Centiflor, but his daughter got interested in breeding tomatoes and bred the Yellow Centiflor. But you probably know that already.

Great looking list.
