[Sca-librarians] OT OOP Looking for a hat pattern

[grasse at mscd.edu]

I never saw anything on gowns and the hat/cap patterns suggested were 
very different from what I finally discovered hanging on the door in 
another faculty members office.  
So, no, nothing useful to me came of this search, but THANK YOU all for 
your interest and what suggestions I did get to follow up on.

And yes, you may be right, it might be the differing styles, still it 
was worth the try.

In Service,
Gwen Cat
