05 Pumpkin Aviator (?)

Boulder

I'm not exactly sure what this is supposed to be (it's in the front yard of some neighbors). The goggles and mustache make me think of an old-time aviator.

I never used a pocket protector ; I probably ruined a shirt pocket or two. I still have my old K&E scientific slide rule in my office. I remember that buying it in 1963 was quite expensive. I treasured it until the first TI calculators became available.

How about a pocket protector and side rule… bet you still have your slide rule around. I had one that my dad gave me when I started electrical trade school but I never really learned how to use it. It eventually broke and I tossed it. These days it’s faster & simpler to open a voltage drop calculator app and you’re done. Paul

We never wore white shirts - white lab coats, yes. Goggles? Sometimes, I suppose.
The shirt could be a fill in for a lab coat, of which there aren't many.

My own guess - it was what was in the "rag drawer" of the closet.

I’m thinking it’s a person in the science field with the white shirt and goggles. Setting up an experiment to see if the results match the hypotheses. If it had a pocket protector, pens and a slide rule it would be no doubt. Paul
