Joe had them made in the late '80s or very early '90s when we were still
operating under the old charter membership, which may make these unusable as
anything but templates for a modern version. They are the size of the con
badge that we have used for years. Joe decided to make them that size in
case someone decided to use them as they wanted to use them as a name tag.
It was his idea. He created it. I like the little doodle he put on their
lower right. That we should keep.
