Well I'm honored! Hopefully sometime in the near future, we can arrange a family reunion.

Sounds like a plan. Spring is just around the corner! :eusa_doh:

That Al, he's such a joker!!

It's only to hide the pain and anguish of not having a smaller head. :Cry:

You could always start up a chimney sweep business, I have your first customer in the Albany area too.

Thanks Alan.
I was deep in the Okefenokee Swamp...the only night we slept on dry land....Land of Adventure for true!

I spent my early childhood not far from the Okefenokee. Went into the park many times, neat place.

Doorman at the Waldorf?

Volunteer doorman at the Holiday Inn Express?

Thanks all... but I don't need a new job, just a social life.

Surely they have Opera in Buffalo!?

Only on occasion and not the dress up event that it is in New York City.

Actually, I don't own a coat and tails. What a sloppy collector I am. :eusa_doh:

How about a wedding crasher? You could slip in almost unnoticed.
Or start "Monopoly" marathons!

I have always wanted tails. I've never bought a set because I've never had a chance to wear it. Tails have always been second on my dressy list however. The thing I have always wanted the most is a morning suit. There's just something about a cutaway coat and gray stripe pants thats just classic to me

The woman who sold the C & K top hat (worn once at the owner's wedding in 1915, I think it was) also had his complete formal outfit from the wedding day. I had just committed to buying it from her directly when someone hit the BIN button on her ebay auction. It was an incredible suit with vest and shirt all in perfect condition. I probably would have worn it as often as the hat... still, it would have been nice to have it. Another <sigh>.

That would have been a truly incredible outfit to display with that top hat. Whats even more incredible is that all the pieces of the outfit were from the same gentleman. Thats a rare thing in itself.
