NCTC-3990 Pelican Island sign. When the Pelican Island bird reservation was established, Paul Kroegel was appointed its warden (refuge manager). Since Kroegel was the refuge’s sole employee, he carried out all required duties, including sign-maker. He also supplemented his meager wage of $1.00 per month by rowing visitors out to the island.
