I shall now boast. Not only is my last name "Irvin", I was born on Oct. 13, 1943, the day after that second Caterpillar Club card was issued. A few years ago, talking with a WWII vet who had jumped out of a disabled plane, I asked him if he was a member of that club. He called happily to another vet, "Hey, George! She knows what the Caterpillar Club is!" Thanks for making more people aware of it.
