For weeks if not months you've heard me talking about the TOR that my home lodge was putting on this weekend and it's finally a wrap. I am happy to report that things went off without a hitch. We had thirty tables rented and just about all of those guys reported that they sold enough to make them want to come back if we do it again next year.

I also really enjoyed the fellowship with other collectors. I got to eat out Friday night with Todd Kelly, John Pleasants, and Mark Graff. Later on Saturday I got to visit with O'Dell Walters, Chris Jensen, Wes Drennan, Larry Lane, Bob Walton and John Fort. Perhaps the most interesting person to show up at the show was a gentleman who brought his grandson. He was on staff at the 1965 Dixie Fellowship and in high school I dated his daughters best friend. Back in the day he gave me a Santee S1 flap as a gift and I've treasured that patch ever since.

After a weekend off I'll be going to Chris Jensen's show in Easley, SC. Turns out it's the same weekend as the Dallas show this year so I know a lot of us in the South will be swapping cloth that weekend.
Yours In Scouting,
