I ran across this picture of Edward James Olmos, cool hat and shirt!
I find that he wears hats often.

Interesting. The fedora at the end suits him best.
Woolaroc was Frank Phillips’ summer home. He was a big fan of the old West. When he started the picnic & reunion it was by invitation only & one condition was that it was a day of amnesty which all lawmen & outlaws had to agree to. It was a day of fellowship & storytelling. No arrests were ever made. Frank was most comfortable in an old west hat & attire.

Today Woolaroc is mostly a museum & wildlife preserve.

I'm due for a visit to his old place. It's been quite a few years.

Woolaroc is a great place. I've been up there several times. Phillips really picked out a great place.
Be aware though that there are free roaming buffalo. They are not pets and are not tamed in the least. Give them space as they are boss.

I think, we, who believe in, and wear hats, not baseball caps, but hats, fedoras, homburgs, derbys, porkpies and any others including newsboy caps are persons out of time. We should have lived in the days of life in noir, the black and white times of humanity. Heck it's even difficult to find an automobile where-in you can keep your hat on your head whilst driving.

Perhaps, but perspective is much different. We see those days, looking back, as easy, romantic, and with a promising future ahead. Many of us have boxes full of hats. At the time, however, times were tough. The depression, the dust bowl, world wars, and working sun up to sun down, My grandfather's each had two or three hats over their entire lives and those were more tools than fashion.

Great post, however, as it is good to remember the good times and remember the best in our forefathers every now and then. There are a few people I'd like to meet and a few places I'd like to see 100 years ago.

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Maybe 10 yrs ago now Cowboys & Indians Magazine attended & covered the celebrity picnic they have nowadays. The columnist & writer from Bartlesville (the Original Cowboy, can’t remember his name) who wrote the book on the CrossBell Ranch & the Mullendore Family Murder usually covers it too.
