Hi!
Well, waaay back when I was the first big of my tree (I was a charter member of my chapter) I took my first set of letters and had my name embroidered on the sleeve (it was a durable champion sweatshirt) and then my little's name. She was SUPPOSED to keep doing it and passing it along, but I found out about a year ago that she just kept it and it's in her closet. Needless to say I was disappointed, but it didn't matter anyway as my chapter killed all of our family trees but about 3 of them when there was a mass exodus to go local.

The chapter has been rebuilding over the past year, and are doing great, but for some reason won't "adopt" the old trees. Something about wanting to start from scratch. Whatever Gee, can you telll I a tad bitter about that whole thing? LOL!

I think something to pass on is a great idea, as long as it's made clear that it is to be passed on, not kept
