that are no longer needed. Color guard members in other Kentucky color

guards may like to have them. If anyone is interested, they can email the

editor at cescott@twc.com for more information. This attachment shows

the actual uniform. Dan Klinck, Past Commander, is in the picture.

The Louisville Thruston Chapter also

has some nice cockades they are

willing to give to a chapter. Like the

uniforms, contact the editor if you are

interested.
