Since Carol doesn't "collect pins" (yeah, right!), no she doesn't get the HM dangle. Besides, like it said in our marriage ceremony (the mumble part) " what's her's is her's and what's mine is her's!"
To Brer-Rabbit,

To Eeyore's Pal,
Yeah, I was hoping to have it for the meet, but as usual a day late and a dollar short.
Besides, where would I have put it on my vest? (inside joke for all those at the Philly meet)
