Dear Bee-L'rs
 
     Thank you for all you responses, positive & negative. I've been in
     contact with the BSA directors office regarding the badge, and was
     informed that it was under consideration for re-instatement. I am
     currently waiting a call back from the director to find out what
     exactly it will take to get it going again. I have my suspicions, and
     I don't want to be premature, but I certainly also don't want to beat
     a dead horse.
 
     In the meanwhile, I would like to ask another favor. Could the members
     (in the US) of the Bee-L list write me with their State Association
     information? A contact name & association address would be helpful.
     I'm looking to amass all 50. When I'm done, I'll post the information
     to the list.
 
     If this really gets going, and we're able to re-instate, I'll
     volunteer to be the interface. My wife's a computer programmer, so
     maybe there's a home page on the not-so-distant horizon.
 
     Thanks to all, and I'll certainly keep the list 'posted' as it were.
 
     Mike Beluch
