Howard Abshire stopped by to see me yesterday. Some of you older monkeys might remember Howard. He was DE in the "Hills" way back. He was active when BabyGoff was a Tiger Cub.Howard is currently working for coal mining giant McCoy-Elkhorn, and is no longer active in Scouting. A shame, because he grew up in Scouting and was an awesome program man.
He wanted to sell his patches. The final step in letting the past go, I guess. I urged him to reconsider and hang on to them, but he wanted shed of them. I now have 4 big boxes of all sorts of stuff. Nice to have some dupes to trade, but really sad that a friend of Scouting has given up.
