I had reported earlier on June 21, that Lodge 30 would likely have 2 2-piece sets for the 2004 NOAC. I recently heard from a trader in Lodge 30…
“I stopped in our scout shop yesterday to get the latest on our ‘supposed’ NOAC two-piecers, and found out that nobody seems to know what is going on. … but those in the know at the shop tell me that things are a mess because the lodge didn’t get permission to use Ernie Davis’s likeness, etc., on the patch before drawing it. What the status of it is right now is up in the air. The likeness of Eileen Collins is public domain, so there is no problem with that, but I don’t know if they have been ordered separately or not. Is it going to be too late when all of this gets finalized to get the flaps made? Only time will tell. As soon as I hear anything, I’ll let you know.
Will keep you all updated as I find out more.
