Chipp & Arnie

Favorite Chip & Ernie

Favorite grey stripe goes with anything


Favorite suit by Chipp

Favorite grandfather, Arnie



CWO 2 during WWII


Favorite sweat shirt


Favorite Sergeant Major


While my father can rewire and replumb a house -- I inherited Arnie's inability to hammer a nail straight. Maybe traits skip a generation. I don't know. I wish my father and my father's father a Happy Father's Day. And a Happy Father's day to all you dads.

  2. Great photos Tintin! The shirt/tie/coat mix in the first pic is wonderful. My father sadly was not at all handy around the house. Fortunately I have not taken after him and in recent years I've discovered that I can install window furnishings, change electrical outlets, and re-landscape gardens quite nicely if given the opportunity.

  5. M Lane- We gotta go looking for this sweatshirt. It says so much more than just Duluth. Uff da, homey.

    LBT- Grey and purple. Who'd a' thunk it. For reasons that will be made clear this coming week, I need to install an exhaust fan in a NYC apt. Any ideas?

    Anon- Try Southwick MTM now owned by B2. Give a call to Sandy at the Brooks 346 Mad store in NY. She'll sort you out. And stop calling me sweetheart.

    W Essex- He was a CWO 2 in Quarter Masters during the war and was hit by the RIF afterwards. I think he was knocked down to M/Sgt but am not sure.
