Southern Gospel Steel Players

I've been enjoying some old Southern Gospel videos on YouTube lately. I was wondering if anyone knew who the steel player(s) for the Happy Goodman Family was?
Also, I know Scott Sanders was the steel player for the Hinsons later on in their carrer, but who was the original steel player(s)?
Thanks,
Haapy Goodmans

Jack Smith played for the Happy Goodmans as he was married to Vicki their daughter.

If I remember correctly Pete Drake did some steel work for the Hinson Family.

Ronnie Moore played for the Hinsons early on. Scott Sanders played in the latter years and did a great job. It was stated Jack Smith played for the Happy Goodmans but I never knew who played when they were traveling. Incidentially, there are some good live videos of both families on YouTube.

Don't forget "Rabbit" Easter played for the Goodmans for a bunch of years after Mr. Smith.

Gary "Beaver" Dillard played for the Kingsman and Eddie Trent from Kingsport was with the Kingsman before Gary.

Does anyone know what ever became of Rabbit Easter's cousin Russell Junior who was the main steel guitarist with the Easter Brothers?
