Howard Michael Madaus, the godfather of Confederate Vexillology passed away Saturday, July 21, 2007, at home in Cody, WY. Howard was a great friend and a institution in the study of CSA flags, Howard opened many doors with his vast knowledge and experience, a real class act, a fine human being. He could remember a flag better then your name, I will miss his comradeship and hold a fond respect.

Please remember his wife Pat and his daughters in your prayers.

God Speed,

Tom Martin
