Introducting… Jake Topkis. 

According to Rusy Reeves’ blog at “A Mississippi Writer”, one of the scions of our Scout patch collecting hobby is an aspiring filmmaker who’s been getting quite a bit of attention lately.   Jake was responsible for the video about the founding of the Order of the Arrow that was shown in the museum at last Summer’s NOAC.   He also has produced an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s Telltale Heart that was selected for the Eerie Horror Film Festival.   Read more about his recent accomplishments in this Park Record article.   (Link may become inactive over time)

This is quite the start for someone who’s still a sophmore in high school! Way to go, Jake!
