Over the last two days I’ve been have enjoying the fellowship of the South Carolina TOR and my lodge banquet. Even the banquet had a silent auction so it was a big patch weekend.
One of the highlights of the TOR was just slowing down and walking around the room to have a conversation with all the other dealers. Some times at a show you get wrapped up on trying to man your store that you miss out on a chance to see the other people in the room. I even talked to someone about coaching them up on starting a new TOR at their council service center. So again seeing people in person and having these conversations are invaluable to the hobby.
I was invited to bring a historical display of Camp Coker items to the lodge banquet. Tripp Clark did the same for Camp Barstow so that our entire council territory was represented. This year is the 95th anniversary of Barstow and Tripp is organizing a staff reunion for this summer. In the display I had pictures, patch collection and some paperwork. I also shared a new to me display of sashes signed by E. Urner Goodman at the 1977 Dixie Fellowship in Charleston.
On eBay I have 210 live auctions with 80 of those ending tonight. I’ve received a some messages from people on this interesting MN OA Dancer neckerchief. I was glad that it came with provenance in the form of a signed letter.
