Talk about a vestige of the past: earlier today, my father emailed my brother and me to alert us that our old scout troop, Troop 6 back in Newport News, now has a webpage, and we've been mentioned.

Since my brother and I are both Eagle Scouts, we've been given a perch in the Eagle's Nest.

After my brother Kevin and our friend Michael Dubay beat me to the punch by a few months, we all had our Eagle Court of Honor in one fell swoop in October 2005 at Second Presbyterian (of whose preschool I am an alumnus) in Newport News (see below) where we officially became Eagle Scouts.

Just a tidbit of Scouting lore.
