As story--my sibling brother and I are in the same fraternity. His badge was stolen when his home was robbed. I bought an older badge for him on Ebay--but first I was able, via our HQ to locate the family of the original owner. I spoke to the deceased brothers wife, she had actually never seen the badge as the deceased brother had been "pinned" to another girl in college (he met his wife after college.) I asked her if she would like the badge, telling her I would be happy to send it to her if she could cover my cost & postage. The brothers widow asked me to call her back in a few day. When I did she said that she had discussed the matter with her children and they decided that my brother should have the badge; that way some part of her husbands fraternity legacy could live on thru my brother enjoying the badge. So you see--badges on Ebay can be a good thing.

Interfraternally,

The Ruby Eye

That's a great story
