He was an absolute sweetheart!!! I walked up to him and said, "Mr Gibson, I hope I blow your mind with what I ant you to sign," as soon as he saw it he goes...
"Wow, Crofton, Nebraska. You know what is funny, just last night I was writing something about Crofton, Nebraska!"
I told him the lineage of the Jersey and that my family was around him when he was in town...he tossed out a couple of names that he remembered...I called dad with one of the names and he said, "Yeah that was the family he stayed with when he lived in Crofton," so there is no surprise in him remembering them.
Anyway, I never got the oval...looked for one a couple times, never found it...Bob was VERY CAREFUL and asked me to help him keep the fabric taunt.
It was really a great experience.
