Young Whippersnapper!
You'll never qualify as a Curmudgeon if you don't catch up with JBWX, Roger &
me real soon! I was nine-plus years out of college in the fall of '72.
IIRC, Jim changed styles according to the season - or at least every year or two.
In all of the shots I took in the fall of '72 he was wearing a Derby (or a Bowler -
what's the difference, anyway?) In late August of '68 he wore a cowboy hat for
the last D&RGW freight runs, and in May of '73 he was wearing a black baseball
hat that I mis-remembered as a Derby until I looked real close at my photos.
