Alcatel Hat Photos, 2006

The Grand Tradition of Hat Photos continues, now over 100 strong!
See also:

  • The Ear Research Institute Hat Photos, 1981
  • The Bates Avenue Hat Photos, 1981
  • The Georgia Tech Hat Photos, 1980

Most of the interviews went something like this:
Tom: "Hi! Do you mind if I take your picture with a Hat?"
Victim: "What?"
Tom: "I'd like to take your picture, wearing this Hat."
Victim: "Um...what's it for?"
Tom: "It's a thing I do. I have about 50 pictures of people I've known, all wearing a Hat."
Victim: "Um...sure, OK!"
The Hat Photos continue, over the years, to be my favorite pictures of the people I've known. I'm looking forward to looking back at these new ones, twenty years from now.

Pictures of me are almost certainly not taken by me, and are therefore much more likely to be a little fuzzy.

Larry is only about six months younger than I am. Doesn't seem fair.

Chris makes me laugh. It's only because of Iron Discipline that there aren't even more photos of him here.

I'm as likely to be seen without my glasses as with them, due to my fixed-focus Evil Eye.

Ron Traver

Ron Traver

My friend John Blackburn says, of this picture: "Tell him I LOVED Titanic. Oh, and Terminator was best!" In fact, people have come up to Ron in restaurants and told him just that.

Brian has been at Xylan/Alcatel longer than I have. He's a super-nice guy, and almost always has on a shirt with his name on it, which is Extremely Helpful.
