And with good reason: The proud patrol leader shot this with a Kodak Brownie because we had just been named the Honor Patrol \u00e2\u20ac\u201c outscoring all other patrols in Orange County at the District Camporee on May 20, 1961.   The Otters are, left to right, Burton Craig, John Radford, Bruce Carriker, Billy Wood, Alan Bream and Jimmy Horn. That was 50 years ago this spring. I can only wonder where these 60-somethings are now. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen Jimmy Horn around town, but I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost touch with the rest of our gang. Maybe the Otters will be reunited when Troop 39 celebrates its 100th anniversary next year.  Happy Boy Scout Week, guys! <\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
