Later, 6:40 p.m. CT: I mentioned coin collecting below. To complete the story -- I returned to the Grapevine Coin Show this afternoon and bought the coins I was looking for. Met some great people. Came up with some new ideas regarding coin collecting. A great day.

Winter Boots: Memories

I don't recall when I bought my Sorel winter boots, but I remember wearing them during the winter of 1967 - 1968 when snowmobiling in North Dakota. 

I was reminded of those snow boots when I stumbled across this article

The author reviews three or four brand name boots, but the article begins with a design from Sorel. Those were my first set of "real" winter boots. I still have them. I don't know what to do with them. I doubt I will ever wear them again -- they've been with me all these years, including all our years in Europe and took them to the Bavarian and Swiss alps when we went skiing back in the 80s (1980s). 

My Sorel boots are still in perfect condition.

From the article

The author reviewed three or four brands of winter boots but the photo that ran with the headline: Sorels wiki.
