Indiana Boy 5th Person in Family to Wear 61-Year-Old Sweater in School Photo

It’s a family tradition that has been kept alive for 60 years. Seven-year-old Brady Gose, of Indiana, is the fifth person in his family to wear a 61-year-old sweater for his first-grade photos. It’s something the past two generations of boys in his family have done.

The gray sweater made Brady a local celebrity in Brownsburg, his dad, Chuck Gose, told ABC News.
"Just the other day, my son Brady told us he thinks he can be more famous than Tom Brady," Chuck laughed. "He thinks it's great and he knows the sweater is very special to our family."

The sweater made its first appearance by Brady’s great uncle in 1954. Brady’s grandfather wore it in 1958 and the youngest of the three brothers then wore it again. Gose got to wear the sweater in 1982.

After being in storage for 33 years, the time came to take the sweater out for Brady to wear for his school photos.
Though he's only seven, Brady already knows he's going to pass the sweater down to his own children in the future, Gose said.
