| Brad J. Armbruster (American with German surname) of Providence, RI.
At the mouth of the Providence River, the city is the capital and largest city (pop. 175,255) in RI. Bullhorn, Dee-Jay, Dogfight, Ice Cream Soldier, Skystriker, and Major Storm also come from Providence. Hasbro's headquarters is in the suburb of Pawtucket; thus 17 Joes come from this state. The 1992 filecard uniquely identifies Ace as Wendall L. Armbruster of Seattle, WA, home of Lifeline (86) and Rapid-Fire. (Armbruster comes from a German word for crossbow.) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
