Arthur Goldberg #94 (1908-1990) and Abe Fortas #95 (1819-1982)
Arthur Goldberg #94 (1908-1990) and Abe Fortas #95 (1819-1982) these are two Justices who in consecutive fashion made the mistakes of a lifetime concurrent to each other. Their stay on the court was brief by their own doing. Justice Goldberg in less than three years and as a favor to President Johnson surrendered his seat on the court to accept the position as the U.S. Representative to the United Nations. That position lasted 3 years.

Abe Fortas #95 (1910-1982)
W. Abraham Fortas was an Associate Justice nominated by Lynden B. Johnson. This board includes a photograph of President Johnson and Abe Fortas and no comment need be made as to their friendship. Before he became a Justice Fortas was appointed to represent the interest of the defendant in Gideon v Wainwright a case that asked should an attorney be provided to a defendant and if that answer is yes what kind of an attorney does the Constitution require?
Cosigners Board - Numerous Judges
This appears to be a court in search of a Chief Justice. Assuming the Justices were active at the time this co-signors board was signed one must eliminate that theory as Goldberg was gone in October 1965 and Abe Fortas was not there until October of 65.
