As luck would have it this collection included dupes on one of my all time favorite patches.  Growing up as a kid the Santee 116 S4 Vigil Flap was a legendary patch that me and my fellow patch crazy brothers wanted bad.  Turns out this guy was a member of my lodge back in 1977-78 and picked up some nice stuff.

Another cool flap with a story was from Chiriqui Lodge 391 based in the Canal Zone.  He was stationed there and received in the mail after he left this S7 Vigil flap which has a hand stitched border.  He even kept the envelope and note that came with it that read, "I hope you have a good time in the states. Thanks for your support when you were here". The postmark is December 30, 1976.

 

One of the things in the collection that I had never seen before was a pair of Explorer swim trunks with the circle rocket design patch on them.  I already offered them to my daughter for this summer and she turned her nose up.  But she did lay claim to a couple of the Scouting t-shirts.
