About Us
Our Mission
PatchPro is the labor of love of a patch collector like yourself. It was born of the need to organize the OA patch collection of its author. The vision of PatchPro is to facilitate the ability to maintain in one program the multiple types of patch collections, as well as keep track of all those people we have met over the years in our hobby. Since we have no single reference source for all collecting interests, it is also the aim of PatchPro to be flexible enough to use all of the available reference materials, as well as your own.
Company Profile
The author of PatchPro is Bruce Kaffenberger, who resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Bruce caught the patch collecting bug at his first OA Conclave in 1970. Except for a 8-year hiatus during his college years, he has been consistently active in the hobby. Bruce's main collection interest is "old" Region 5 lodge issues.
Bruce is currently the Blue Book Regional Editor for the Region 5 states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama, as well as #385 Yustaga Lodge from Florida. If you have any information on new issues from these areas, please send it to Bruce at latrader@patchpro.net.
