 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.

 And that is how I see passing my good badges to my children - a way to remember Dad.  If my son joins, I will pin him at the ceremony with one of mine and it will be his to wear until his arrives.
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.
