It would not be wasted money to me to be able to reacquire it. And I don't think it is wasted money if alumnae chose to purchase their badges because they think they are more than a mere piece of jewelry, and wish to keep their badges in the hands of those who honor it for its meaning rather than its worth as gold and gems.

I lost my badge about 4 years ago. I know it was somewhere between Lorton, VA and Alexandria -- but it's still lost. If it turned up, I'd be so happy that someone rescued it and tried to contact me through headquarters. I do keep an eye out at flea markets and other places I might find it, but no joy so far.
I replaced it, but couldn't bring myself to try to duplicate it, so I have a very different one now.
