Being a connoisseur of mid-20th Century clothing 
—and with spring fast approaching—I have been spurred to begin wearing some of my more authentic ensembles.
It may also have something to do with the fact that our museum here in Minneapolis just recently finished our newest exhibit, "Riding into Popular Culture," a fantastic multi-media display relating Wells Fargo's colorful influence (in most cases) on different forms of entertainment in the mid-20th Century. The exhibit contains many photos and movie posters , as well as the film we have running on "Wells Fargo in the Cinema."
This brings us to our April staff meeting. Megan, Terry, Bill and I were just sitting down in our cushy velvet movie theater seats when a gentleman and his granddaughter approached us. He pointed at me and said "see, here, look at this!" to his pre-teen companion. We were all a bit confused, and then he asked me to stand up and turn around. "See! Look at that!" he continued, "my mother used to wear stockings like that every day! See the seam?" Apparently, he noticed my Cuban heeled seamed stockings when he was in the museum earlier. The gentleman came all the way back to show his granddaughter this little piece of history!
Needless to say I was flattered that he had noticed this small authentic touch. However, I was more than a little red-faced to be modeling them in front of my boss and co-workers!
