How many P-36s/H-75s are in existence?

I met Tom Wilson at Chino when he was working for Tallichet. In fact, he picked up my A2 jacket from a shop in Santa Monica (I think???). I guess you also know Bruce Crandall the painter guy, and a big guy with glasses we called "Awesome John"! Went with those guys down to Prado Park for a Civil War re-enactment! At that time Todd Merchant worked there, do you know how he's doing?? Is he even alive???

I saw Todd about 6 months ago at Yanks. He was doing some IA work there. He looked pretty much alive to me! Haven't seen Crandall around in a while (not that I'm everywhere). He told me he got married.

Somehow missed this thread and found it by googling Todd Merchant. Used to hang out with him and Bruce Crandall in the early 90s at Chino, as well as Tom Wilson. Those were incredibly fun and sometimes hilarious times and great opportunities to be around Tallichet's airplanes. At the time I was a freelance writer and wrote for several aviation publications. I could never be so lucky again.
