     I won won in 1956 in the Regal Theater, at I believe, Oxfor Avenue, 
     near Oxfor Circle, in Philadelphia, and received a multi-color patch 
     to sew onto a jacket, but I can't prove it as the patch and jacket are 
     gone.

actually competing, I do recall getting my mother to take me to some store 
or another (Woolworth's? G.C. Murphy?) to watch the "pros".
