[at-l] options for the future of the AT

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

Some do.  Just as some post their degrees on their walls.  It took me
*cough* *cough* years to earn my BAIS and then a couple more to earn my
MLIS.  But I never got the ring and while I think I know where my degree
certificate is, I have never framed it or hung it up.

But I like patches.  I would never hike a trail JUST to get a patch.  But I
would like a patch as a memento.  

Strange, but when I was a Boy Scout, I loved earning merit badges, but I
only put some of them on the sash.

I can't imagine why anyone would go to all the pain and trouble to hike a
trail, any trail, for a patch.  They just aren't important to me.  I just
received a Life Member patch from the ATC.  I hadn't even thought about it
when I pledged last year so it came really as a surprise.  It's pretty but
I'm much happier that I was able to contribute to the ATC's work than I am
over a patch.  I don't know how much it cost to produce.  Should I return it
and tell them to keep the money?
