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!! :-))

Dudley,

FWIW, they have "a" Panama Hat of Bob's at the NASM Udvar-Hazy
facility.

Dunno if it's "the" hat or if he just donated one from his collection.

He told me that he now auctions them off and the proceeds go to charity.

Classy touch from a classy guy :-))
I'm just glad he made it through the gauntlet and can now rest easy out
there in Palos Verdes and enjoy life :-))
