I had the pleasure of flying with Bob about 4 months ago, to a dedication
of a new airport in Idaho.

We discussed his straw hat

God, I hope that isn't the same Plantation hat he's been sitting on in the
P51 for the last 30 years. That thing must be falling apart by now. I think
he's worn it since day one. Some of us even had a bet going at one time that
he wore it to bed at night!! :-))
