July 1999 Duck Calls posted to online archive

Larry Johnson kindly forwarded me scans of the Duck Calls newsletter from Lodge 333 for July, 1999 for inclusion on the online archive. I've created a PDF document of this edition and it's available now in case you've been waiting to find out what happened at the 1999 SR-7 Conclave hosted by Nawakwa Lodge.

Check the Duck Calls page for all of the online editions, and if you have an edition that's not posted please let me know!

Duck Calls Jul-Sep 2001 posted

Larry Johnson recently provided me with a number of images for Conclave items and Siouan patches, and Ben Vincent sent me quite a few images of Siouan and Camp Waters emblems. As a result I've been spending time trying to find a good content management system ("CMS") to convert the Kecoughtan site to since it has grown way beyond anything I ever anticipated and well beyond simple maintenance of a few static HTML pages.

Meanwhile, today I posted a copy of the July-Sept 2001 copy of Duck Calls, the Lodge 333 newsletter. Thanks to Larry Johnson for scanning and sending the images. You'll find it along with many other copies of Duck Calls on the Duck Calls web page.

More Duck Calls for the archive

Larry Johnson kindly scanned and sent me two editions of Duck Calls, the newsletter of Wahunsenakah Lodge 333. Both are more than a decade old. Check the Duck Calls archive page for PDF versions of the August, 1996 edition and the Feb-Mar, 1997 edition.

The addition of these brings to total number of Wahunsenakah Lodge Duck Calls newsletters in the online archive to an even 36. There are still a number of issues missing that I'd like to add. For example, I have no issue of Duck Calls from the year 1999. Please check to see if you have any that aren't already listed.

Reading old lodge newsletters can be informative about Lodge emblems. For example, in the August, 1996 edition of Duck Calls an item listed in the Trading Post Action article discloses that "All 1200 Conclave flaps were sold out by midday Saturday of the Spring Ordeal." The flap mentioned would be the 1996 Conclave flap, classified in the Blue Book as the 333 S-3.

Duck Calls Mentions kecoughtan.com

I arrived home from the College World Series yesterday to find a new edition of Duck Calls, the Wahunsenakah Lodge newsletter, waiting for me among the bills and other mail.

After reading about the recent SR-7A conclave I turned to an article that mentioned kecoughtan.com as a place to see pictures of new Colonial Virginia Council Scout camp. It took a moment to sink in that the article was referring to my web site!

Thanks to Newsletter Advisor Tim Ewing for the nice referral in Duck Calls. If this is your first visit to kecoughtan.com I hope you will take some time to look around and learn about the rich history and tradition that precedes Wahunsenakah Lodge.

And if you happen to have items that are missing from my site I will be very grateful if you can find a moment to share pictures of them with me so that I can continue to make this site more accurate and complete.
