The Travels of the Tan Cowboy Hat Finale ( 1230 reads) |

In fairness to the hat, I did not wear it as much as I could have. I'm not
nearly as tall or as animated as Howard but I am just about as shy as he
is. Bottom line, the hat did not get a fair test. The button, the tee
shirt, and the shyness all worked together and resulted in about fifty
conversations over 21 days of travel through CO, WY, ID, WA, OR, CA, AZ &
NM. Several people approached me and said, "Why?"; others said it with
their eyes and listened while I vocalized the response. Not one person
disagreed. I had hotel desk clerks in several states and waiters in San
Francisco all initiate "the conversation". Elevators are good training
because most of the hotels we stayed in were less than 5 or 6 stories. The
development of concise responses is an absolute must.
Agreement is cheap and easy. Action requires effort, energy and even in
the chaos of our economy funding. I encourage everyone, just as I
encouraged everyone, to get active, call law makers and officials, and
send some tax deductible donations to LEAP.
It will make you feel as if you've made a contribution to the effort - you
will have - and it will make Jack Cole smile. It's a twofer. |
