OA 1951 AREA 6-D AREA CONFERENCE PP CAMP LAKE OSBORNE
i’m a bit amazed at the price of that 6D patch!… i’ve never seen that one go for more than $100, and i thought that was high… in fact, the same seller had one in his store for several months for something like $80 and never did get an offer on it. Odd too that it went for much more than the 1951 6D.
i also hate it because that’s one of the patches i *really* need… i attended that conference, and it’s one i need to replace for my ‘lost’ stuff (long story- i lost everything once upon a time)… i’d hate to see it priced that high, as i could never afford it.
that was somewhat of a memorable conference too– because of the long travel time to silver lake, semalachee lodge, the host, kept the chow hall open untill everyone arrived… our bus arrived around 10pm, and we were treated to a late supper of fried fish and grits!
