He kept them in hat boxes and they all read 'Stetson.' After he retired, he wore hundreds of baseball caps that he collected, but when he was 'dressed up,' he still wore the felt or straw hats. We teased him about being so old fashioned, but he never changed.<br />Peace,<br />MuffMuffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-35203185744954271252012-02-08T16:02:54.181-06:002012-02-08T16:02:54.181-06:00I'm sorry about your cousin passing.

My dad still wears a dress hat. Always, all winter. He's 84 and I've never seen him wear a ball cap (like my husband). I have seen photos of my mother , sister and I in hats too. <br /><br />I remember those flash bulbs. They were as big as golf balls. I had forgotten about those. Thanks for the memories. Is the one lady, I think Charlotte, wearing fur coat? I remember when my mother got a mouton coat for Christmas in 1957, I think. My sister wears it now. It's still gorgeous. My sister finally btoke it to her, not too long before she died, that Mouton is not fur, but wool.Just Stuff From a Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13440903695801765867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-2549455132429804052012-02-08T12:24:32.808-06:002012-02-08T12:24:32.808-06:00Awesome old photos !
