Daniel, I've been having a hard time finding Fred Weick's exact birth date. Fred's autobiography starts by mentioning that he was four years old when the Wright brothers first flew.
However, perhaps this may be useful though I can't guarantee the exact date, I do have an exact date. I was editing Coupe Capers in 1993 when Fred died. This is what I wrote at that time based, I think, on good information sources that I no longer have: "The best gentleman I have ever met died earlier today, July 8th, at 2:00 .m. Eastern time. . . . Due to his age (6 days short of 94) . . ." So, that would put his birth date on July 14, 1899. Perhaps we can get confirmation from one of his relatives or another reliable source.
