Diane, this question comes up surprisingly frequently. The pins haven't been made for decades and are no longer available through the Church. Your best bet, so far as I know, is to check with antiques shops if you live in traditional Mormon areas, and to search regularly on eBay. I have to say, though, that I have haunted eBay for Mormon memorabilia for years now and have never seen a Gleaner or M-Man pin come up for auction. You can see an image of the M-Man pin here, but I doubt that's clear enough to have one made, and I can't help you with the dimensions.

I am looking for a Master Mormon Man Pin for my daughter in law’s dad. He earned it and sent the requirements in to the church. They sent a letter back that they had discontinued the program 4 days earlier and did not send him a pin. She would like to either find a pin for him or a picture of the pin and its dimensions so she can have one made. Can you please help me? Thank you very much. God Bless you
Diane.

Donald, based on the genders, it’s the woman third from the left who isn’t named (going by the way she’s holding on to Cecil McGavin, she’s probably Mrs. Cecil McGavin). The genders match up to the names to make your uncle third from the right, the one in the bow tie.

Missionaries, San Jose, California

There are eight people on the front row and names for seven. Can you fix the problem? I am looking for my uncle, Everette T Devey and want to be sure which man he is.

I don’t believe you should put this comment in with your collection. I only want your response.

Thank you.

Mina, I thought that sego lilly was a pansy, like the old primary song Little Purple Pansies. Actually, my first impression was that it was a parade entry from the junior primary sambadrome…

Love the photos. You never know what tidbits will pop out. Non-Mormon Primaries, GA dentists, LDS Pioneer families from Idaho. It’s quite a sampling of Mormon history.

Who celebrates the Fourth of July wearing suit coats and ties?

We should do a Mormon History Jeopardy! game, Cameron. “I’ll take dentists for $400, Ardis.”

Yes, she stands out, doesn’t she? I hope her height didn’t make her too terribly self-conscious … it didn’t keep her from serving a mission, though, so three cheers for her.

I am struck by the height of one of the women in the Wisconsin photo. She looks ginormous, especially for 1928.
