Hand sewn hello.  From Erin.

My grandfather had the weekend of his life.  We went to Washington DC.  The 3rd US Infantry, AKA The Old Guard, honored Grandpa’s service in WWII by asking him to lay a ceremonial wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier…in honor of those who fell at The Battle of the Bulge (the bloodiest battle of the war).
Every soldier we met saluted him and thanked him for his service, saying that Marvin is part of the “greatest generation” and that
if it wasn’t for them, we’d all be speaking German.

His escort was 2 star general, Robert Scales.  General Scales won a Silver Star in Nam for his bravery in the battle at Hamburger Hill.  His character in the movie Hamburger Hill is called Cold Steel.  Scales lost his entire unit in one day and still feels guilty.

We spent the whole weekend with the General and his wife.  He took us a to a restaurant called “America”.

A consistent uniform is the height of style in my opinion-  nev

We just shot two commercials for Sperry boat shoes.  Both spots were filmed on super 8mm in the waters around Shelter Island by the unsinkable Jody Lee Lipes.  The shoes are impossible to slip in…impossible.  One time, the boat tipped over while Jody was standing on deck, wearing sperry’s–when the boat righted itself again, Jody was still standing.

They’re all sporting top 100 best outfits.
