Who sponsored Troop 52? I was in Troop 1.
I *think* it was St John's on College Ave. We met in an annex building across the street. Our annual Christmas tree lot was on the St. John's side of the avenue. That was 1972-73 and the Varsity was something like $20 less than the most beautiful bike on earth, a white Peugeot UO-8. Rode my Varsity up to the Lawrence Hall of Science regularly, and passed cars on the way back down. Sheesh, that 13 year old male brain...is still the same. 😮 😜
