FYI...

We've Come a Long Way!

The patch collecting hobby has changed greatly over the years. Reference works have also evolved greatly. Recently I acquired a copy of a 1958 "Blue Book" in great condition. It was neat to see how things were then and what has now resulted from it. See this book online for the first time at:

OA Song - Original Words

The music to the OA song has been used in many places since it was first composed by Alexis Lvov in 1833 as the Russian (Tsarist) National Anthem. A performance of this orignal anthem can be found in MP3 format at the link below. Does your lodge sound like this when they sing? *grin*
