Day 5

Breakfast











... Stopped at the Pendleton factory. I could have gotten myself into a whole lot of trouble





Yes, we do.


Got the factory tour





One of each please.


If they had this one in my size...the hat was oil skin with pull down ear muffs... made me wish I lived in the pacific northwest


And then Ebbe had his "dream"


Pendleton. The perfect combination of style and comfort.


... Onward to the street fair and Fred, WWII vet, photographer, friend of Minor White and book publisher. Nice guy and we got his book.





Ebbe and I are both big WWII buffs.
