THE LEGEND
"In 1972 I lost my favorite hat. Finding a replacing
for something that had such character proved to be frustrating -
so I set out and bought a new one and tried to make it look like the
one I'd lost. failing to make it look the same, I bought yet another.
After six hats, I got tired of making new ones look like old ones...
So, feeling down on my luck, I took my six hats to a little shop that
sold new and used clothing. The shop keeper wasn't really interested,
but said, "Leave 'em here on consignment." A week later I returned not
expecting anything. The shop keeper was very excited. All six had been
sold!
"This marked the beginning of my adventure with hats.
Now my works of art are on the heads of Wall Street banker's and Hollywood movie Moguls"
