I checked the records. I still have all the old docs for the IOFF that I did and Birdie was not on the list. I am sure that no one would mind if he were added. I would be happy to get some parchment and make up one for the swap and add a fly. Let me know. It was also kind of sad looking through the list of original members to the IOFF. Several of them are gone like Mark and Murf.
