This picture of Horace Thomas Nichols and his daughter, Mary Helen Nichols Dale, was taken during World War II. They were my grandfather and mother. He was a meticulous man, and she inherited the trait. Note his vest and his hat, which she is holding.

My Grandpa Noonan always wore a vest. He said that if it keeps out the cold, it keeps out the heat.
ReplyDeleteMost of the men from my childhood wore hats, usually like Mr. Nichols', but a few flat caps, and I think, some baseball-style caps worn by gas-station attendants (will have to check that).
