How bout' that! I remember a cute picture in a book about the Bear with Mae Martin when she was a little girl placing a Houndstooth hat on a smiling Grandad's head when he was with (if I remember right) the New York Jets' owner at the time right when the Bear started wearing Houndstooth's! Before then, I think he wore Brown Fedora's on the sideline!

Oops!! I just looked at that picture on page 355 of "The Last Coach." According to the description, it was grandaughter Mary Harmon Tyson, not Mae Martin Bryant. Don't know why I remembered it wrong!! Was right in every other detail!!
