So, yesterday I went thru my old fedoras, I gathered about 6 or 7 that I wont wear anymore......I brought them to Mom's nursing home for the old timers there, you'd swear it was Christmas for them.......they were so happy and proudly sported them. The hallway was littered with old men and their hats.......it put a genuine smile on my face, as well as theirs. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of them tho.

Nice to see a real gentleman out here in the forums. Keep it up, maybe one day when I'm in the nursing home, someone like you will put sunshine in my day.

Compliments to you Sir, well done. The pleasure that you get to see those who, sadly, feel forgotten, is immense. I would recommend your action to anyone looking in their wardrobe. As well as hats, what about those beautiful old suits that don't fit anymore, it's amazing how I obviously remain the same weight all my life but my clothes all seem to shrink.
Your generosity has inspired me, I'm going to have a look at what I can share with my local nursing home.

Exactly. This style of giving is certainly commendable, and has given me inspiration also.

I would love to see photos of the gentlemen hatted and smiling. This example of the giving spirit is the perfect way to start off the day. Kudos, Bolthead.
