The Great War
This is an interesting thread... Around Here (Tennessee), if you mention you're a re-enactor, usually the first comment the "tater" replies with is, 'oh, my great-great-great Grandfather was in the 53rd Alabama'. "Reenactor" in the South is equated with Civil War like "drill weekend" is with the...- plain old dave

1969
Hasn't been too many years since Big Orange blazers and ties were de rigeur for UT alumni at home football games. The hard core Big Orange fan would have a Big Orange three-piece suit; seems like John H. Daniel in downtown Knoxville made 'em. The alumni section at Neyland Stadium would look like...- plain old dave

What Are You Reading
The American Language by the Bard of Baltimore, Henry Louis Mencken. 1937 edition. It's a slog by any stretch , especially for somebody whose weakest subject in school was English, tied with any form of math. His chapter on slang is fascinating.

Modern Stetson Open Road

Hat/Cap shop in Denver
I'll clarify what I'm lookin' for: I have a nice Akubra Campdraft; it desperately needs to be Long Ovaled. If we were to have a conference in Memphis, I would ABSOLUTELY tool up to see MajorMoore; he did awesome on my Fawn OR. However, the next work conference is at the Crowne Plaza in Denver...- plain old dave

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Glen Gray. The CD is light years softer than a new OR I handled at Stages West (where they have a man that appreciates first-rate hats that Long Ovaled it for me). That dang thing felt like it was made out of cardboard.- plain old dave
