I have a photo with a multi-signed mat, likely for a departing Johnson Space Center employee. Based on some of folks who have signed it having passed away since, I would place this item from the mid 1990s. All of the signers appear to have worked at JSC at the time.

The signers are mostly astronauts (US, ESA and JAXA) but also includes test pilots, research pilots and support personnel, so the ones I can't identify could be less than well-known administration or support people as well.

Walker?

Jan Dairs (pretty clear, just no results)
Dave Firney?

Just off the bat, I can see of those noted with the orange arrows for shuttle astronauts as follows; John Grunsfeld, Steve Oswald, Dave Walker, Steve Scott, Jan Davis, Jeffrey Hoffman, Scott Parazynski, Jean Francois-Clervoy, Kent Rominger, and Leroy Chiao.

Did I get all of them from a quick glance-memory (maybe missed a couple, however, I didn't recognize 2-3 as being astronauts)?

Ken, thank you so much that was extremely helpful. They all look like they match up! I only have five unknowns left, but I can keep searching.

The only one left is the one that looks somewhat like "Dave Firney" or Tirney.

Thank you for all of the help here!

Maybe try searching for 'Finney'? It's a surname on this side of the pond. Famously actor Albert Finney of course.
