The Man, The Legend, FEATHER HAT

I love groups that take to places and people I might never have known, in this case, Windsor, Ontario to meet the famous Feather Man. There are three topics on thediscussion board, 'His story was in a local magazine a few years back..', 'Rons left hand' and ' Downtown McDonalds', while the gallery shows a couple of photos of Ron the Feather Man(some a little blurry) and even a mural that features his distintinctive image as centerpiece. The group wall is a wealth of additional information and anecdotes about sightings and encounters. There are a few posts from members claiming kinship to him. Other points of speculation are the identity of his girlfriend and the exact nature of their relationship and, of course, the meaning behind all those feathers in his hat. Two posts even suggest powers of teleportation. True, there are a few detractors, but, to quote one wall post, 'we all do things others think are strange, we all carry our own 'feathers'...'

What's great about this group: Well, Ron, really, he will intrigue you.

Update (28 October 2023)

Feather Hat Man, a.k.a Ron LaDouceur, passed away a little more than two months ago on 5 August 2023, at the age of 75. You can read his obituary here. Toy collectors may also be interested to know that he got his own action figure as tribute to his legend, before he passed.
