Camp Fawcett Totem Poles

On May 2, 2012 as a result of a photo supplied by Julius Graw, a 1960 Eagle Scout, a question was asked about what happened to the two Totem Poles at Camp Fawcett.
As per this article and the below photo:

The Totem Pole on the right was built by Julius back in 1960. The Totem pole on the left was made sometime during the late 1930's or early 1940’s by a Del Rio Scout. After recently talking to Mike Deaton, Jr., originally of Del Rio he stated that in the 1950’s his father, Lloyd Deaton and Doc Southhall rebuilt the wings and repainted it.

The Totem Poles have never left Camp Fawcett – it just takes someone in the know and that person is a 2005 Eagle Scout, a 2008 Vigil and 2008 Lodge Chief, Humberto (Beto) Torres, Jr. 

On the morning of June 2nd Beto introduced himself to Julius, a 1961 Vigil and asked if he would like to see the Totem Poles, which were well placed (hidden from  the unknowing) in a cedar break. There was a trail leading up to where the poles were firmly placed in the ground, apparently used as an entrance to a past OA ring.

Beto and Julius with decades of Scouting between them - sharing their history for the mutual benefit of Scouting and Camp Fawcett.  Note: Julius still fits in his Camp Fawcett Staff/Scout attire – not many of us may state that.

What is amazing in the below photo of the two Lodge Poles is the physical condition. The one on the right that Julius built we know is at least 52 years young, whereas the one on the left is no less than 60 years young, or possibly older. The obvious lead based paint has held up as well as may be expected.

The Lodge Pole on the left (the 1940’s pole) originally greeted Camp Fawcett users to the left side of the front entrance.

Should the OA rebuild and attempt to match the original paint of the Lodge Poles?
