Moore on the cover

I was interested in seeing which Railroad Model Craftsman covers mentioned E. L. Moore by name. There are many that mention his projects, but far fewer that name him. Here's a list of the covers where Moore's name appears (I think it's complete, but if one is missing, please let me know):

Top row, left to right: Dec '66, Apr '68, May '69, July '70
Bottom row, left to right: Oct '70, June '72, Nov '72, July '74

Looking through the covers from the 1960s and 1970s, it appears unusual for any writer's name to be mentioned, so I'm not sure if eight covers was high or low for an established freelance writer at RMC. Usually cover text focused on succinctly describing the features and projects inside.
