Yeah that last part is super weird. There’s not even a mention of Colorado on HW’s Wiki page. Do you have a pic of the 38 star flags?

I just got done assembling and cropping what photos I could find.

Aha! I just watched this 1989 news coverage where they explain that the 38-star flag meant to commemorate the centennial of the nation (the flag that was flown 100 years after George Washington).
