I was seeking information, and imagery, for our new observing certificate pins. I had just learned that they had been received. Up to that point, we didn't know the status of the order. In fact, the last I heard, the manufacturer was waiting for us to confirm the proofing document.
Also, I had been asked if the pins should be sent to me! Ah, no. This meant the person was not familiar overall with the certificate handling process!
I've redacted a couple of lines... but this gives the gist...

Oh. OK. Good to know [they arrived]. My last impression was that it was waiting on my for something, a final confirmation.
When did they arrive?
Do the new Moon pins look/feel the same as the old? Different manufacturer, right, but I'm hoping they are effectively the same.
Can you take a photograph of the old and new Moon pin for me?
Can you also photograph the new Double Stars pin?
Then I'll have a sense of how things worked out.
I don't think you need to worry further on these pins. They should go with all the others at national office. Samantha normally does the certificate processing upon my directions. I tell her, "Send a cert and pin to this person," and off it goes.
Again, please send me images so the Observing Committee can see our new hardware.

I did this to reinforce my old-man memory and what I asked for. To make sure I'm not crazy.
