Great photos, RBH and Jwalls!
good point!
Thanks for posting those, RBH and jwalls-- so cool!
Rusty, those pics are absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing!! I think we can all agree that we know where your love of Thin Ribbons comes from.
I tried to upload a picture of my great grandfather from 1930 but it wouldn't up load But he was 7ft 2, full blood Seminole Indian that wore a Lincoln top hat over his knee length hair. He lived to be a 107 and always wore that same hat he got when he got married. He was sight to behold, a man of great style and class

He reminds me of a young Henry Fonda.

Here's a pic of my mother's father and mother at her younger sisters graduation back in 1946. The C Crowned Panama he has in his hands is one my mother bought for him at Rogers-Peet in NYC back in 1944. I still have this hat, though it is very brittle, has some cracks in it and is merely a family keepsake now. I remember him wearing it when I was little back in the early '50s though

Nice photo and story.
And it's refreshing to see a gentleman remove his hat for a photo.

My father who was a photographer back in the 40s/50s told me why that was done. It kept a shadow from falling across the upper part of the face when taking a head on photo He usually asked men to remove their hats when he took a pic.
Very nice photo and memory.
I resemble my paternal grandfather, who had a Panama very much like one I wear. I certainly wish I had his in my possession, too. I used to have a photo of him in that hat, but cannot locate the picture at present.
