Note: The OCR source contained duplicate entries, some garbled addresses, and several scan interruptions. This reformatted document corrects obvious OCR mistakes and removes assistant commentary, but a few entries had incomplete or inconsistent contact details in the original OCR; those entries were preserved with available information. If you want, I can:

  1. Reconcile duplicate entries and merge August/September listings into chronological order, or
  2. Reprocess specific state sections where contact details appear garbled (please indicate which states).
