    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    It was entertaining. Hardly one of Ford's or Plummer's best efforts, but I'll admit - I never mind seeing Leslie Anne Down naked, so there was that!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    D-Day, the Sixth of June, with Dana Wynter, Robert Taylor, and Richard Todd. Mind you, I could cheerfully watch Dana Wynter read a phone book (and look forward to the next page!), but Taylor and Todd are very good in this picture, too. Edmund O'Brien is good in it, too.

    My niece has it now, but before I outgrew it, I inherited a Levi jacket my Dad got in 1945 when the first trainload of civilian Levis were made available. Dad wore it, then my oldest brother started wearing it in 1970, and I got it in time for my senior year in high school. I gave it to my...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I passed up a great opportunity, the reasons for which I will not go into now, to learn Spanish while growing up. Consequently, later in life I heard many "colloquialisms" while working in a largely Hispanic community I didn't understand. When asked their meaning, my Dad always explained "It...

    The two pairs I own - a brown pair that are 25 years old, and a black 2 year old pair - are all leather, are very comfortable, and have held up wonderfully.

    Might I suggest you look at the Stacy Adams "Madison" boot? It is cap toe and while is not as ornate as the one previously pictured, but comes in almost all traditional colors (black, brown, gray, white, etc.) and is an excellently made boot for around $130.00 from Amazon, Zappos, and many more...

    Theodore Bickle, as the Peace Officer (the Sheriff?), in "The Defiant Ones," was the firt time I remember seeing the combination of Fedora and leather (bomber style) jacket Indiana Jones later so iconically wore.
