This hat is from Old MacDonald's Farm – a tourist attraction in upstate New York in the 1950's.
Each of the Keen kids got one when we visited the place on a family vacation.
The important thing about this hat is that it shows up in a famous picture of Neil, who did not enjoy everything about the farm.
This is also the place where my father refused to allow a sign to be wired to our car bumper advertising that we had been there. Bumper stickers were far in the future at that point, but the idea was forming.
Here are a few more pictures from that day. I have no memory of the obvious fact that cousins Mary Lynne and Glenn were there with us.
