Trivia: A recent post on the NY OA trader blog discusses a neckerchief and pocket patch issued for the 1998 NE-3B conclave. These items list the lodges that attended, including Ajapeu 351-- even though Ajapeu has been a part of NE-1A since the 1994 Realignment. From 1988-94, Ajapeu was part of NE-2A which included eastern upstate New York and western Massachusetts, so it is understandable how they could send a contingent to this event. They also attended their own section's conclave in 1998.
