Introduction A lifelong hat wearer, I became interested in hatting history in 2004 when I discovered the Cavanagh Edge. I decided I wanted to know more about it, what it was, how it was made, who created it, and so I jumped in feet first. Years later, I have amassed a great deal of knowledge of the history of the hatting industry, and I want to pass it along to you here.
Interests Hat history, Hatmaking, railroad history, American history, Colorado history, model railroading, gardening and landscaping, cooking, genealogy, reading, writing, music (though I don't play guitar much lately), and dreaming of exploring misty mysterious forests, anticipating and enjoying the melacholy days of Autumn, and watching the snow fall outside my window.
Favorite Music I'm currently smitten with Colbie Caillat and Taylor Swift. Otherwise in no particular order: Windham Hill's A Winter's Solstice series, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Beethoven, Schubert, Vivaldi, the Eagles, and most '80s music.
