  1. I remember Bert getting a few at the Sistersville show in 2008. He had tears in his eyes… I didn’t understand the importance at the time.
  2. We have a local store with a local history section. Large fire in 1870 or so, with the recovered items. 3 marbles, one Bennington and 2 Pelt Rainbos. this is how histories get warped. Now, trying to correct the dating gets you kicked out of the store🤣🤣🤣 Upton Sinclair quote” It is hard to teach a person something when their salary depends on them not knowing it.” truer words were never spoken!
  3. Thanks for the sanity check Steph!!
  4. I get Vitro on the first and last. No comment on the 2nd mib.(I was going to say slingshot ammo, but my wife is trying to make me a better person🤣🤣🤣🤣)
  5. He was unique. Taught himself to play the piano and accordion while in a TB sanatorium. Also learned Russian, translating many Russian geology books into English. he played the piano at concert level but refused to play if anyone was listening. I had to hide outside to hear him play.
  6. His other favorite saying was when someone said “well…” his response was “deep thinking for such a shallow mind”
  7. This came from my ex- father-in-law, who I deeply loved. Much more than his psycho daughter. ( My first ex) he was a professor of geology, hired by my grandfather in 1948. My favorite saying of his was the 5 stages of a fart: A fizz A fuzz A fizzy-fuzz A fart And a tear-ass rattler. you all know what he was talking about.🤣🤣🤣
  8. That is a weird one my friend, waiting to hear other opinions. there is an old joke:” if you have one opinion(nut) in hand and 2 in other, what do you have? A difference of an opinion”.🤣🤣🤣🤣
  9. I’d x4 but that would be worthless🙃
  10. I’ve got the same bowl on my desk🤣🤣🤣
  11. I met him in 2008 at the Sistersville show. I regret not understanding his importance in the community, and keeping in contact with him.
