From a backyard of a 1920's homesite in Houston...
A Medallion larger than a Half Dollar: 18th NATIONAL CONVENTION T P A NORFOLK VA 1907.

T P A (The Travelers Protective Association) has their 130th National Convention scheduled for this year.. Their 18th would have been in 1907. The TRE-CENTENNIAL WORLD's FAIR/EXPOSITION was held in 1907 in Norfolk, VA. T P A had an Exhibit/Building at that Exposition.
Maybe their 18th Convention was held in connection with the Jamestown Expo... I can't find anything on the Internet to verify that. Anyone know anything about this?
