And younger folks at least wear beenies, baseball caps, knitted hats with ear flaps. Smaller trilby styles have also been trying to make a comeback. So there's hope yet. If everyone who mourns their passing began wearing hats again, they'd be back on top!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-31058715115861611592010-03-12T08:33:14.824-05:002010-03-12T08:33:14.824-05:00It was a sad day, on so many levels, when wearing ...It was a sad day, on so many levels, when wearing hats went out of style!JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-42123598069363329332010-03-12T08:26:58.047-05:002010-03-12T08:26:58.047-05:00Pappy likes hats.

Because he is "popular" he is reviled in some poetic quarters. He's a good man and an always entertaining, so often poignant, poet. <br /> I saved a couple of my dad's hats after he died.
