Zahi Hawass on his hat


http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/834/he2.htm
"The story of this hat began many years ago. When I started my career, I used to wear a white cotton hat. However, I soon realised that this did not offer me total protection from the sun and besides, it didn't look good. Still, I continued to wear this hat for another seven years while I was excavating the archaeological site of Al-Ashmunein in Middle Egypt and the famous Delta site of Kom Au Bellou, where I discovered my passion for archaeology.
One upon a time while teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), I had a student named Patti Rabbit. It was she who brought me my current hat, which I wear to this day. She told me that this hat will always bring me luck."
