Some people collect stamps or coins, others collect art or books.
Amid the furniture and belongings that sculpt everyday life, Stuart's Gaithersburg home has been transformed into a virtual hat museum. Hats perch on racks, hang on walls, and are suspended like trapeze artists from the ceiling. They are everywhere. If you put them all on a hat rack, they hide each other. The collection also includes military head toppers such as a WWII German helmet, a Russian Army officer's cap and a London policeman's hat.
