While this picture of me has been posted many times in the past, I have never mentioned that the hat I am wearing was a gift from my friend, Jim Episale. I still have this hat and think of Jim every time I see it, retired to a hat rack.

When Jim and Barbara were to get married, Jim invited Pam and me to the wedding. It was a cross-country trip for us, and what a great time we had. In my garage, I have the PVC pipe sections he used at the Conventions to display his movie posters as a Convention Dealer. He stored them here, along with his plastic tub of dollar bin chips. In fact, each year he would bring me something to "pay" for the storage of convention stuff, and one year it was the hat!

Thank you Jim, Jim!
