Brown Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 11,574 Likes: 167 Iowa	Originally Posted by Researcher Quote I recall reading somewhere that we seldom see photos of Gary Cooper shooting or hunting because he had to wear glasses. Here are a couple of pictures of Gary Cooper hunting with Papa in Sun Valley from the book High on the Wild with Hemmingway. From 1940 without glasses -- From 1941 with glasses -- In that photo of Cooper with glasses, looks like he's carrying a Parker.

I feel better now!! Never had seen a picture of her. But in the picture I see on my screen it sure looks like a blonde mustache!! Just the way the light was hitting her apparently. Perry M.

She is wearing a lot of the same clothes in a couple of the last pictures; Cap, coat, boots, shell bag etc. Last edited by AGS; 07/27/24 10:54 AM.

He and Alex Kerr were commissioned as Naval Officers and served as aerial gunnery instructors during WWII. Not 100% sure but I think Kerr headed that unit. I believe that Bob Allen, who started his company specializing in gear for those who play the scatter gun games after the war, was a member of that same unit.
