Hi, your patch kicked in a nostalgia trip for me. When I was in grade school (WW II era) we were visited each year by a Duncan rep, always a Filipino. They wore colorful satin jackets covered with competition patches, did a magic show with Duncan yo-yos and gave away several samples. Yo-yos were seasonal pocket gear then, like tops or marbles. I guess the show was effective, because I still know that 'If it isn't a Duncan, it isn't a yo-yo.' Thanks for the trip, Jim
