Figure 1.--In the photograph here taken 2 years after the previous shot, I'm a star scout and you can note some changes in the uniform. The garter tabs holding up the knee socks have a red flash denoting that I was a senior scout, and I have a collection of yellow and green backed stars over my left pocket denoting years of membership in Cub and Boy Scouting. Another big change is longer hair for David Acquotta and me since our first trip together.

A lot of boys dropped out of Scouting as they got older. Actually Cubbing attracted the largest number of boys. Living in a small New England town, however, had about as much excitement as watching paint dry, so I stayed active in Boy Scouts all through high school. In the photograph here taken 2 years after the previous shot. Its 1965 and I'm now a star scout. If you look carefully you can note some changes in the uniform. The garter tabs holding up the knee socks have a red flash denoting that I was a senior scout, and I have a collection of yellow and green backed stars over my left pocket denoting years of membership in Cub and Boy Scouting. Another big change is longer hair for David Acquotta and me since our first trip together. (See the photo of us standing behind my dad's silver Plymouth.) In this photo are Steve Lawlor, David Acquoatta, Danny Henigan, Jimmy Sehaw, and me. We are all on another troop camping trip here.
