The following e-mail and image were sent from Dennis Moseley-Williams in response to the blog, "What is it?"

board-auth.cgi.jpgHello,

I was sent an interesting link to Mr. Bruce's blog - where he showed a specific coin, and asked if anyone knew what it was. I do.

The coin is a medal from Keewaydin Canoe Camp - an American camp that operates in Canada - and has since 1893.

In 1911 we had a camper named W. Patton. I have attached a photo of the plaque that hangs at camp to this day.

Somehow that medal, that W. Patton would have won as a young boy, found its way to Mr. Bruce.

This coin/medal has a lot of alumni talking - fun that it turned up.
