Patched up bomb squadron USAF MA-1 jacket

Picked this 1967 dated MA-1 up last weekend at the Nashville TMCA show. Unfortunately no name or owner information available. The jacket shows virtually no wear so I wonder if maybe it was made up for a retirement gift or perhaps for a spouse? Of course it could just be a random collection of patches someone had sewn on an old flight jacket as well :)

Thanks manayunkman and phantomfixer. I too had wondered about the absence of a name tag. That is one of the reasons I speculated this might have been made up for a spouse. Now that I think about it, maybe even for an administrative or civilian secretary and perhaps these were the squadrons she worked with? Just another guess though. I have rolled back the edges of several of the patches to look the underside edge and I feel they are all from the early-mid 60's vintage so maybe nothing that was put together recently.
