291/365


Paul has worn this belt buckle since 1980. He got it on a business trip to Dallas, Tx working for Combustion Engineering. He saw an employee wearing one like it at a business meeting and told him he liked his belt buckle. The regional director disappeared for a few minutes and when he came back he tossed the belt buckle across the table to Paul. He has worn it ever since. Today he retired it, and I thought it's story deserved to be told.

P.S. When I asked him why he decided to stop wearing it, I thought the answer would be more memorable. He just said, "It adds too much weight to my shorts."
