Notes

Acknowledgments

  • Many thanks to Bruce Shelley and Rick Barbour. Bruce’s Broad Creek and Straus lists and Rick’s extensive documentation of CSPs and SAPs provided a great base from which to work.
  • I am, of course, very grateful for the John Wolf collection as mounted in the Wolf Memorial inside Broad Creek Reservation Headquarters. I spent many hours looking at it when I was on staff, and I have managed to photograph at least some of the patches there to fill holes on these pages.
  • I owe great deal to the late Rob Dare for years of friendship and trading and for help with listings and classifications.
  • Thanks to all who have provided scans, photos, or patches over the years. I am grateful to Rick Barbour, Bruce Shelley, Jim Greenbeck, Mark Ripper, Dave Weissert, Jerry Egan, Mike Kelley, Dave Bastien, Dave Bell, Steve Sylce, and many others.
  • Scans of missing items would be gratefully welcomed. Trade offers for items I need will be greeted with great enthusiasm.
  • All mistakes are mine; if you let me know what they are, I’ll fix them.

Colors

  • I have used “Gld” as an abbreviation for a yellow-gold like that of the Nentico totem. Most catalogers would call this “DYl” for dark yellow.
