MK, Matt, Andykev - a message from "Hat Talk" author Debbie Henderson...

[Snrbfshn]

I'm in touch with Jon Barlow Hudson, Debbie's husband (and noted sculptor), initially to buy a copy of her book. They are interested in establishing links with the Lounge (literally and figuratively), as well as accessing pictures of members' hats. I told them the site doesn't have a photo dump (though a good idea), but that most of us have pix posted on photo service sites.

Can one of you guys follow up with Debbie and Jon? Here's his note:

Jim,
Looked at the fedora lounge site: is there a place
where images are on exhibit? when we get our site up,
can we link to the Fedora site?? if yes, how would
that be done?
thanks alot and all the best. Deb will sign the book,
hope that is ok!
Jon

Sounds very exciting. MK, Andy and I will have a talk... as you said there are several places where we place pics, one is obviously my disorganized Fotki account http://public.fotki.com/Mattdeckard/
The Lounge will have something soon.

I emailed him tonight.

hi Kevin, thanks for writing. i checked out your
site--very good. am just putting together visuals for
one on our hat exhibit, which we just recently
installed at the Ranching Heritage Museum at Lubbock,
TX, until august.
yes, we know Graham, you might recall there is a
really nice shot of him in the back of Hat Talk. fine
chap and yes, a great hat maker--he made a wonderful
one for me with the beaver body i brought him. his
only competition is John Morris (father & son) at
Rocky Mt. Hat Co. in Bozeman, MT. he also made me an
equally good one, a boss of the plains, with a beaver
felt body he had.
worth a visit if you get out that way--they both are
absolute tops in my experience.
as for the chat room, i am sorry to say that we just
don't have time nor inclination for such. i am a
sculptor busy with trying to make a living this way,
working alone so i have to do everything, so just no
time to hang around. and Debbie just has not time
either as she teaches at university, nor is she
someone to sit at a computer for discussion. she might
get around to answering an email occasionally. thats
about it. sorry!!
we are thrilled to know there are at least a few chaps
out there that really love hats!!! thats reassuring!!
and rewarding to know that folks appreciate her
research.
all the very best to you!!! later......jon
