I bookmarked the Memephis Commercial Appeal so I can read Mike's story when it hits the paper. I hope somebody lets us all know when it comes out.

I am sure Luke or Rusty will let all know, I'll let one of them know when the reporter calls me back to tell what day it will run, he thought it might be Friday or this Sunday's paper, but he said he would call me, I think he was more happier about the story than I was, he just could not get over all the steps required to make a hat, said he thought it was just take one out of a box and hit it with a little steam and there it is, he also felt that people that don't even wear hats like us will be taken with the story, of how I got started and the hurdles I had to jump over to find some of the tools and items needed.

This from Tom Baily of the CA in Memphis....


Hi Mike,
I agreed to hold delay the publication of it until dec. 14 to give our
AppealTV folks time to come to your shop with their video equipment. The
idea is to publish the story on the same day that the video presentation
is placed on our web site, commercialappeal.com. you should be hearing
from our AppealTV person very soon. They would come up there next week
to shoot it.

Tom

Great Pictures, Indycop & Rusty. Indy, I'm glad to see that the Major has pink, cranberry, and red felts for whenever you're ready. Rusty, thanks for the update on the article. This has been a fascinating ride so far. :)

Well, I was thinking of your womenfolk, but ...

I'll wear the pink if I can get it in an open crown 2 5/8' brim and 5" crown with a cranberry ribbon and cranberry binding on the brim. Now what about that feather? Hmmm..... ;) :)

Hmmmph!

It's dangerous to throw down the faux gauntlet. :rolleyes:

I was kinda looking forward to a picture of the duo come February. Heck, I was planning on double guns, vests, and cigars.:cry: [huh]

At least I have the consolation of listening to Chris Isaak singing Let Me Down Easy. :cry: :eek:

Well, got to get back over there, have a few hats that need to get finished and ready to ship out next week for Santa to take with him.

Plus I need to block a pink, and cranberry hat body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never know who might need one in a 2 5/8" brim and 5" open crown. Take care friends, and thanks for all the support during this move, which by the way still is not finished, but at least I am 98% done.
