More material available[edit]

I went ahead and classified this article as a "start," although there is still considerable biographical information in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin source yet to be incorporated into the article, and I have not yet done an extensive newspaper search to find reports of cases heard, etc. Some of the Infobox data is from Marquis, and should be further verified. I will request release to the public domain of a photograph from the Oregonian (a long shot), and from his son. If anyone else can come up with one in the meantime, I'd be most grateful. --- J-M User:Jgilhousen 07:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph requested[edit]

I have written via USPS to Crookham's son requesting a photograph and suitable free-use release. -- "J-M" Jgilhousen 08:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
