There is a web site that creates and posts top ten lists across numerous topics. Destry just sent me one of the top 10 famous final photographs. Now we don’t typically blog about other web-sites and this one does not on first glance seem relevant to our blog about Boy Scouts and collecting but look at #7 – Jeffrey Miller – one of the students National Guards killed at Kent State University in 1970. Its a Pulitzer Prize winning picture. For our younger collectors, they may not be connected to the events but for those of us with more age this event and this picture captured a traumatic era in the USA.
Now for the connection to Scouting. Jeff was an Eagle Scout. He was collector Bernie Miller’s son.
Due to picking up the Clay estate and subsequent car problems I missed this year’s BSA National Meeting. Well I’m getting reports back and the one that pops up for patch collectors is that we’re going to three (3) regions down from four. Not sure when and not sure the structure. I’m sure we’ll get filled in soon enough. One may probably want to put away some of the region patches but not too many. This isn’t the hottest area of collecting.
