This is the reason I quit SABR back in the late 90s...or maybe early 2000s. I was trying to research the Nebraska Indians before there was much of anything available on the internet...I reached out to many people listed in the directory and not one of them ever contacted me back. They were unwilling to share or they didn't have any information for me, but one thing is certain, not one single one had the courtesy to contact me either way.

You ain't kidding Dan. However I was fortunate to meet more friendlier SABR members than not-friendly and am still a member today. Maybe I was just lucky. I remember years ago when I was doing a story on Chief Johnson you were more than generous with your knowledge of the Nebraska Indians, even putting up with my obscure questions regarding their uniforms. For what it's worth, I put you in the rarified category of "good guys"!
