Photo from Dink

Bill Wilson (Nishkin Vice Chief and second Chief) and Dink Starnes (first Nishkin Chief)

Dink's note:


"You have a good pic of the vice chief of the Nishkins.  See the chief belt on me.  See the vice chief belt on Bill Wilson soon (in about an hour and a half to get the big, heavy burden (and blue) tradition.  My idea of how to get rid of it.

"Photo taken by the Star-Telegram out side the Chrystal Ballroom, top floor of the Texas Hotel. Second banquet for O A.

"Maurice Lambert has my copy of the article.  Maurice and I go back to 14 - 16. He will be a great resource for you.  He is not one of us but he has a vast collection of BSA and has done a number books onW R, etc.

"Also, does the museum at W R.  Also, check out Deran Wright (web site).  I am trying to send to you a photo of the same period, but it is not working for me. So, it may come from him or Maurice.

"I had a long talk with Robert Vivion late today.  He is ready to talk (his place) this Thanks week.  Bring your gear.  You get maybe 3 early Chiefs in place."
