Baby Hat Delivery for 9/11


Peggy delivered 30 baby hats to Kaiser Walnut Creek on 9/11 which included 3 military fatigue patterns.  As she was walking toward the Labor and Maternity Ward, a young man was following her and she asked if he was a new Dad.  He said, "almost", he and his wife had been at the hospital for 3 days!  I asked him if he'd like to choose a hat for his baby and suggested a military one since it was 9/11 but he opted instead for a light/dark blue hat.  Then I asked a couple (grandparents) who were waiting for their daughter to give birth if they'd like a hat.  Again, they opted for a blue and gold hat since their daughter went to Cal instead of the military one. Once I took the rest of the hats to the nursing station and told the nurses that I had 3 military hats, they were thrilled and said they'd give them to each of the 3 boys who were just born in the last two hours.
