I will wear my "cheap" badge when dead. I am not leaving absolutley clear directions on what to do with it. My Masonic stuff is to be removed prior to final disposition and kept by the family.

It's wierd. I want to create a sense of family history where none exisited before. It's like I hold the values and traditions of the generation before or equal to that of my grandparents.
