    Disneyland 1955

    My parents took me to Disneyland when I was 11. That was in 1965. It was a "special trip" in that my dad was terminal then. His sister lived in Santa Monica, so we visited her then. Earl

    What's for Dinner?

    Do you by Chance mean Tapatico? I have a huge bottle of it in the fridge. Now there's a "vintage" term as in Frigidaire. Earl

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    Generally don't like a feather, but have a dove grey with a small red feather of that size and in that case think it's a great complement. But has to be small and complementary to do it for me. Earl

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    Old enough to recall the first commercial flights I was on were DC-3's. Earl

    ironside on NBC is being remade

    From the promos I've seen, his character is nothing like the original and I can't relate to it. Earl

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Fedoras are so rarely seen here, whenever I wear one get positive comments. Earl

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    That would be an old Electrolux. What I remember about the vacuums of over 20 years ago is that they were about as heavy as boulders, but don't recall them as being more effective. Earl

    CNN Article: Handwriting on the Decline

    My hand-writing is a bit hard to read. But, now that you mention it, can't remember the last time I sent a letter. Greeting cards, sure. No wonder USPS is in financial trouble. Earl

    Your First Fedora

    About 30 years ago bought a 1940's Lee fedora in great shape at a Goodwill for $2. Never found another fedora in a thrift store since then. 1 year ago bought my second fedora new @ Hatman Jack's in Wichita. Earl

    What's For Breakfast...

    I'm simply not that hungry at breakfast. So, always only eat half a toasted bagel or a bowl of cereal. But as an individual with cardiovascular problems, would day cholesterol of around 200 ain't great. Whether I'd like to or not, bacon and a number of other foods left my approved diet list a...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I'd agree. Our son would rather e-mail us or text us than call. Modern tech is causing greater degrees of lack of direct human contact. Words on screens are replacing actual conversations- of course, that's ironic to say as I'm posting this to a forum.:o Earl

    Pensioner Chic

    I occasionally like to wear a T-shirt. They're quite comfortable. However, never 1 with any kind of logo or graphics. As to the T-shirt showing under a shirt, that kind of thing does look a bit tacky to me. Earl

    Pensioner Chic

    Well, I'll be a "pensioner" in 5 1/2 years. I now wear a suit or sport coat to work every day. Obviously, don't wear that on the weekend. However, my casual wear is darn chic if I do say so myself. So, doubt I'll lose my sense of style in 5 1/2 years. Think I'll miss wearing the really fancy...

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Pretty good records, though. Think about it: Jimi Hendricks, Richie Havens, Janis Joplin, the Who, Santana. I could go on. Earl

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Some of us are a bit more "vintage" than others. Used to own the record set of Woodstock which occurred when I as a frosh in high school. Earl

    Forbidden items in my home...

    Actually, when I was a younger-much younger-fellow that was precisely my only reason for having some interest in Nazi memorabilia-they were mighty snappy dressers. Though never obtained any. Do have an enormous Nazi flag my great uncle brought back from the war. I hold onto it simply because of...
