I'm trying to identify singers that were at the July 24, 1998 session with Hugh McGraw at the Library of Congress, and I'd love your help. About 20 have "strong" confirmations, sometimes by the individuals themselves!

If you want to play "squint at the screen" with others, there is a video and photos here:

I'm editing the actual video itself now, which will be posted online, but I want to write up an article to go with it and to try to identify as many singers as I can to include in the article.

I appreciate the feedback I have received. The passing of Buell Cobb, one of the core group of presenters/singers, made me consider adding a memorial note at the end, as it appears that most of the core group has passed on.
But there are two names I'm not sure of: 

Alan Jabbour (1942–2017)
Hugh McGraw (1931–2017)
Richard DeLong (1963–2020)
Charlene Wallace (1929–2019)
Carolyn Huckeba ( ?  –2006?)
Amanda Denson Brady (1941–2008)
Buell E. Cobb (1944–2025)
Lewis/Louis Hughes ( ? - )
Raymond C. Hamrick (1915–2014)

I don't know anything about "Carolyn Huckeba". I believe this is Carolyn McGraw Huckeba of Carrollton, Ga., wife of Jerry D. Huckeba, her mother was Gladys McGraw of Mt. Zion, Ga.
I found an obituary from 2006, and I assume that's her, but I'd be awful embarrassed to announce that someone had passed when they hadn't.
The person I first named "Lewis Hughes" is probably "Louis Hughes" but was it "Sr." or "Jr."?
Here is a Jr. in 1998 singing alongside Buell: https://home.olemiss.edu/~mudws/1998/national.html
Here is a Sr. who was chairman of a convention in 2001: https://fasola.org/minutes/search/?n=1270
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
