Archie you amaze me organizing all these wonderful activities. You have been such an inspiration to me. I moved from beautiful Charleston to Solivita a small but beautiful golf community in Florida where I was the only one wearing a real hat. I have since found many women here who love hats too and are no longer afraid to wear them. Maybe one day there will be a Hat Ladies of Solivita, Ever grateful for your inspiration and your friendship. . Virginia
