Wow, you're right. There were even Japanese gardeners in the 60s when I was paying attention. I had forgotten them. I just remembered the neighborhood boys who would come to our house and ask my Mom if they mow our lawn. Then one day...along with the kids who used to bus tables...they were gone.

Creepy about the hat and kinda sad.

Creepy about the hat

George probably wasn't five feet tall, and Mom had an area with some flowering plants that were taller.....he used to slink through those - probably remembering his good old jungle fighting days.

Even then, I thought he was kind of "stealthy"....
