Adding to the Collection

Egwa Tawa Dee 129 B3?

Since my collecting interest is very restricted, it’s not often I get to add to my personal collection.   This patch came in the mail to me today.     It was issued last weekend at the Atlanta Trade-o-ree.

Bullions are rather unique items, a synthesis of both wire work and traditional embroidery.     There aren’t very many different ones.     Lodges tend to issue there in small quantities.     Some of them are very scarce.

I think this piece turned out nicely, for the most part.     If I had a list of my favorite bullions this one would probably rank high on it.   Cahuilla 127 B2 probably is still my favorite among the recent bullions.

AOL Block Removed

Some here might be aware of the problems some users of this site have experienced, namely in getting communcations from me, especially if they had AOL addresses.     In short AOL has been blocking email from this site’s server since early this year.

I can finally report good news on this front.     I received this message from an “AOL postmaster” this morning:

The block on the IP has been removed and please allow 24 hours for the block to be cleared.

Thank you,
Sridhar
AOL Postmaster.

The block has been removed.   I will update the subscription pages on my site to reflect this later today or tomorrow.

After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world."

For the third consecutive year Echockotee lodge would host the Area J Fellowship Meeting in November 1947.     A leather neckerchief slide, much easier to read than the 1946 piece, was issued.   Thanks to Robert Mathis for the image of this piece.
