Last night Pocket Change posted a pin from the 40 et 8 society on the What Is It? forum, which got me thinking about the 40/8 Wrecking Crew smock I found here several years ago. So I pulled it out, and posted a few pics on his thread. Then I thought to myself it really needs to be where it belongs, which I figure is back with the 40/8's. I emailed their national office last night, and received this reply today

So, it'll be on its way to the people who will appreciate it the most very soon. I love history, and I was happy to own it and to learn about their organization, but it's their history more than mine, and I am happy to see it get a good home. If you don't know the story of the 40/8 and their "Wrecking Crews" it's a very interesting story.
