Axel in His Knights Templar Uniform

I thought this was a military uniform, but Gram says that no, it was his Knights Templar uniform, and he took it very, very seriously. He wouldn't let anyone touch his feathered hat or sword, until my mom and her brother were kids. I didn't know, but the Knights Templar (at least the Knights Templar Axel is dressed up as) are part of the whole Masonic thing.

I asked Gram about the photo of him in his "Norwegian military outfit," and she was quick to correct me. She then went on to ask me if I could picture "all of those old goats parading around with feathers on their hats."

I love my Gram. She rules. She rules as much as Axel's uniform rules. Only more than that.
