I remember many years ago when I was about 12 or 13 Uncle Edwin used to come and visit my grandma ( Margaret Humphries- Harold's wife). He always wore this really cool hat and he told me that it was a "fedora" and he proceeded to educate me about hats. Being the pain that I was at that age I used to try and steal his hat to wear while he was visisting grandma. Most of my attempts were failures although one day I got lucky and managed to snag it from him or else he just gave up!!!!!!! I wore that hat all through his visit and he told me "for a young lady I wore a hat well" Well to my great surprise and pleasure the next time he came to visit he had a straw fedora for me and I wore that hat constantly until it wore out. This is my favourite memory of GREAT UNCLE EDWIN - hope it brings a smile to your day as he certainly gave me many smiles.
