Remember the old time western movies? Tom Mix was a cowboy actor in films from 1909-1935–Mostly silent films.Pictured here is his cowboy hat modeled by Bill Beecher, PVHA volunteer. The hat was donated recently by Peter de la Fontaine, grandson of Louis Lopes, a Watsonville resident. The hat was given to Louis at a Kiwanis meeting in the 1930s where Tom Mix was speaking. Mr. Lopes arrived late and saw the hat on a table. He put on the hat and went in to the meeting. He was immediately fined for wearing a hat in the meeting. Then Tom Mix said if he liked the hat he could have it.
