old timers and their fedoras.....

[bolthead]

So, yesterday I went thru my old fedoras, I gathered about 6 or 7 that I wont wear anymore......I brought them to Mom's nursing home for the old timers there, you'd swear it was Christmas for them.......they were so happy and proudly sported them. The hallway was littered with old men and their hats.......it put a genuine smile on my face, as well as theirs. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of them tho.

Cool. Good job, Kurt.

 

[BobHufford]

It puts a smile on my face with or without a photo. Kudos to you!

 

[Bob Roberts]

That's so great.

 

[hatsRme]

Not surprised, Kurt! You are one of the good, err, no, BEST people!

Suggestion: Organize a group shot for your next visit, PLEASE...
They'd love it!

Nice to see a real gentleman out here in the forums. Keep it up, maybe one day when I'm in the nursing home, someone like you will put sunshine in my day.

Your heart is good !

 

[FedOregon]

Awesome!

 

[bolthead]

thank you all for the comments.....when I stopped by yesterday, I saw a few still wearing them, it is indeed a good feeling.

 

[Redfokker]

This is a really great idea. I hope it spreads. These older gentlemen can truly appreciate the civility and tradition of wearing fine men's hats. It probably brought back some important memories. You sir, are a mensch.

Compliments to you Sir, well done. The pleasure that you get to see those who, sadly, feel forgotten, is immense. I would recommend your action to anyone looking in their wardrobe. As well as hats, what about those beautiful old suits that don't fit anymore, it's amazing how I obviously remain the same weight all my life but my clothes all seem to shrink.
Your generosity has inspired me, I'm going to have a look at what I can share with my local nursing home.

Exactly. This style of giving is certainly commendable, and has given me inspiration also.

I would love to see photos of the gentlemen hatted and smiling. This example of the giving spirit is the perfect way to start off the day. Kudos, Bolthead.

That put a smile on my face and a tear in my eyes . That was so thoughtful Kurt ! Gentlemen who truly appreciate such a gift , and will never forget your kindness . GOD's Blessings ! Your gift was in the giving , and you'll receive 100 fold ! What a wonderful idea and lesson to teach your children also . We could all learn a lot from that . What a heart !

I echo everyone's sentiments here, what a great idea. You're an example to us all!
