I got back this afternoon from my annual trip to the Grapevine Trade-O-Ree near Fort Worth. It is a show where scouting memorabilia collectors gather to buy, sell and trade memorabilia. It is also a time to reunite with my friends and enjoy the camaraderie of scouting and collecting. I ended up buying about 35 items. They were all needed to fill holes in my collection. It cost me about $1500, but what the heck. I had a great time and renewed many friendships.
