For those of you confused by this…. Your friendly RMD webmaster reached out to Tony Sparks for clarification. Here’s what he said:

“Yes, Bank Street existed for almost twenty years, with one personnel change about halfway through.  Each combination earned three International medals.  (’88, ’89, ’90, ’97, ’98, ’99).”  So, there you go!
