Do you wear a fedora?

No, though I'm kind of partial to Indiana Jones', LOL! :) My screen name is from the code name of a famous Cold War spy. I picked that screen name because I'm into history and one thing I do a lot of research in is the Cold War, esp. the Venona decrypts and related stuff.

Yeah, I think history is fascinating too, although it is not really my hobby or anything. I think it's just something that I've become interested in as I got older, kind of like age also makes one wonder more about family roots.

At the moment I am finding total fascination with the 19th century, probably because its relationship to the 20th seems much closer and more obvious to me now than it did when I was younger.
Medieval history also seems very exotic to me.

I've got a fedora, in real tree pattern, issued for awhile by Ducks Unlimited, that I wear when I go up north, like to Manhattan or something. I'm sure I look like a damn fool in it, but have always liked the things, I guess from watching old movies.
