This is so cute!
“Jean was just 20-years old in 1940 when she appeared in L.L.’s book “Hunting, Fishing and Camping.” Now 92, Jean recently found herself back at L.L.Bean on a family holiday. The family mentioned Jean’s connection to L.L.Bean to a store employee and the next thing Jean knew, she was dressed in L.L.Bean gear and reenacting her photo shoot. Jean was thrilled to share the experience with her impressed grandkids and said the moment made her feel like a movie star.
In celebration of our 100th anniversary, we’re releasing an update to L.L.’s original book. Yes, Jean’s original photo is in the new version, along with other female hunters. Read about the original and new versions here: https://100.llbean.com/2012/
— at L.L.Bean Freeport Store.
My hat’s off to you, Jean!
