Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 18, 2022

Somehow in the span of an hour yesterday I met three different families on my picking trip to VA. I took my mom along for the 6-hour drive and we finished my business and enjoyed a great meal a the local Cracker Barrel before the dinner crowd arrived. Mission accomplished!     None of these collections were killer but for...Read More

  I saw evidence this weekend at a well-attended camporee that confirmed a theory that I've had for a long time. National events like NOAC and Jamboree put so much energy into our hobby. I don't mean with a bunch of patch sets to list on eBay. This weekend I saw lots of younger kids (and some parents) really interested...Read More

    Yesterday I escaped back out to the office to watch the 7:30 PM kickoff of my favorite college team. Apparently my wife doesn't appreciate all the yelling (and occasional cursing) I do when I am watching my Gamecocks play. But this also gave me a chance to kinda plan out my week and I'm excited to get back...Read More

I spent some time updating the TOR calendar on my website so I can help drum up interest in all the shows scheduled for the hobby.

This is the week that I get back on track with my live show.

    The lodge fellowship and reunion that I attended this weekend exceeded all expectations. We had so many people come out of the woodwork that it was unbelievable. All of the events during the weekend from the memorabilia displays, guest speakers, BBQ dinner and patch auction were awesome. There are pictures all over Facebook so I won't share any...Read More
