Grim's Hall

Character:

Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, Ret., picked up this hat once and told me it had seen better days. It was in much better shape at the time.



My wife, early in our relationship -- indeed, before she was my wife -- told me that she defined "character" as "having enough flaws to be interesting." It's good for me that she feels that way.

I'm proud of my hat. It's been up the creek and over a mountain or two. Still a good hat, whatever it may look like to others.
