These two ladies have been friends for a long time. One of them is a nun, and the other one is not. Whicj is probably not unusual for the one that is a nun, but is very unusual for the one who is not.

Did you miss us? Hopefully a couple extra "variation on the theme" photos will help make up for the lapse.

This company - smileadyus.com - uses our physical mailing address as a return address for products the buyers are unhappy with. The customers are spending money to return a product and the company can legitimately say they never received it back, because it was not sent back to the company. I have been told, but I do not know, that this is actually out of China

This is one of several companies who are using our address. I have also noticed that all of the physical locations tend to be from small towns in Wyoming.

Please please share

Can someone step into rescue me pretty please? According to AI the white symbol on the orange lower right half of this patch from Napavine is either
a crosscut saw
or
a pocket knife
or
baseball bats
or
a canoe and oars

(At least the cross cut saw is timber related)

And it is (drumroll, please) . . . variation on a theme day. Some times you need flash, sometimes you don’t.

A new addition to our library of local authors and those who write about varying aspects of law-enforcement. . . This book, co-authored by Joseph Banco, entitled Honor First is a very informative on the National Border Patrol Museum, has lots of photographs, and is quite an interesting read. Joe is also responsible for many of the patches on an upcoming patch board to go on display at IPM.

And it’s variation on a theme day. These are two of my favorite patches. If any police patch aficionado out there knows anything about the issue dates or other fun information about these patches, I would love to know more about them.

And that would apply to any patches or badges (or any other of our exhibits) that you see posted on our page. Please feel welcome to post responses here on our page, or to me at [email protected].

My personal thanks to all who have been so willing to share information.
