Down On the Farm - Concludes

Well, Union Suit Fans, that's it. Hope you enjoyed my "Down On the Farm" series, a look at some of the men, young and older, who've kept and keep this country warm and well fed. A special thanks for my grandpa's and great grandpa's agricultural pursuits wearing union suits and a bunch of uncles, long departed, and cousins, all farmers who wore and wear one-piece, buttoned down long underwear too. Partly due to their examples, I've enjoyed wearing union suits myself since I was a boy. 


(Thanks, to Retro Jeff, for this photo)


Chase of Monroe, Louisiana emailed me this "yesteryear family photo" of his pa, a country man, out in the kitchen early one morning in his sleepwear, a union suit, naturally. 



Thanks, Chase

If any of you have further stories or if I missed anyone having contributed farm photos and memories in the past which may have been featured in earlier Union Suit Fan postings, be sure to let me know! In the meantime, keep 'em buttoned ....Chris
