A Pin Story

Thanksgiving 2014 we were at Disney World. My wife had gotten into Pin Trading. She was trading with cast members and looking for specific pins to complete some sets that she had.

During that trip she asked a Cast member at Tony’s Town Square for a few certain pins and he said that he would be on the lookout for them.

I assume at that time, I gave him a business card. I don’t remember.

Well 10 months later, I received a letter at work from Lester Brownell, Disney Cast member, saying that he did not forget the pin request and it had 20 pins attached to it.

That’s incredible! If anybody knows Lester, Thank him for me.

Or if you are at Disney, look him up and tell him that he is awesome!!

Fantastic.... I'll look him up in Nov and pass along your regards. I've been a pin trader for many years and found it to be a great way to connect with the CM's. Happy to learn your DW had such an exceptional encounter and hope she keeps on trading. ;)
