VandalSquirrel, you are amazing! I like "detective work" and you have a talent in that area, for sure.
As for dates on badges, here's what I did with my new onyx badge: I had "ABC" "BD" and 4-1-11 engraved on the back of it. None of those initials would make sense to anyone else. ABC=Advisory Board Chairman BD = Beta Delta (chapter at UofA) and the date is my official appointment date. I made provisions for the badge upon my demise so it should never end up on any auction site. Still, the explanation will accompany the badge and it may end up lost so someday, there might be another GCer researching the weird engraving on an onyx badge.
You'd think I would have had second thoughts, being appointed on April First. One day I'll tell the tale of my first year as an ABC (if I make it that long).
