Lodge 104: Unlisted Events Patches
Posted in 
Ed Glass sent me two images of events patches from Occoneechee lodge that had not previously been listed in Blue Book. Both date from the 1980s. I don’t believe either of these are particularly rare, but for some reason they have just been missed all these years.
The first of these, pictured on the left, is from the 1980 Spring Ordeal. I guess the lodge was eager to put the 1970s behind them! 
The second item is from the 1983 Spring Pow Wow. At first some elements of the design might appear oddly placed, but I suspect a reason. Did the designer of the patch attempt to graphically depict something all OA brothers are told in their Ordeal ceremony?
Rather than create fractional numbers for these events items, I have simply added them to the end of each year’s events listings. This is simpler and does not create any significant confusion over the ordering of these items. Listing data for these two items are as follows:
| Issue | Bdr Color/Type | Bkgd | Name | fdl/BSA | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| eX1980-3? | RED | R | ORG | BLK | BLK | fdl; 1980 Spring Ordeal |
| eX1983-3? | YEL | R | LBL | BLK | YEL | YEL fdl outlined in BLK; TRI, Spring Pow Wow ‘83 |
