Grandpa's Hats

After visiting Grandpa Sorensen's grave, the kids asked my mom to get out the keepsakes she has of my dad. The kids loved the hats! Here's Meg in my dad's hat from the Marines.

Josh is wearing a hat from Sierra Leone, Africa. My dad said the hat was designed to protect you while travelling in the jungle. If a snake fell onto the hat, it would knock the hat off and warn you. My dad was in Africa mining for gold, diamonds, and sapphires when I was 5.

Julie's wearing my dad's cowboy hat. My dad was a big fan of John Wayne. This is the hat I remember seeing him in the most.
