"Lucy"

Badge-A-Minit
John deVries from Los Alamos, NM, is a member of the crew of the hot-air balloon "Lucy" and has been designing a new button for the crew each year since the late 1980s! While the true purpose of the button is for identification, it also gives the crew a sense of comaraderie. "Over the years, the buttons have become very popular and the crew proudly wears them over their hearts or on their hats," said John.
