In today's Salt Lake Tribune, Robert Kirby wrote an article about Bandelos. Does anyone remember those? I do. They were just like he said: a light green felt sash just like a boy scout sash. There were plastic symbols that the primary teacher glued on the bandelo each time you passed an achievement. I remember there were fake little diamonds that were put on the symbols if you were fantastic enough to earn them. I was lucky to have my little pink plastic house on there, with it's 3 little front windows, but I never earned the little diamonds to go in them. There was a big musical note,and all kinds of other things, but my humble little bandelo was always ashamed because it was never good enough like the others.
