Get Together at Rob’s

John Graham and I took a trip out to Rob’s new house yesterday.  It’s an absolutely beautiful home and Rob and his wife Michelle are still putting it together.  Here’s a pic of Rob, John and I.  You should have seen him take down a mannequin, prop it up ever so carefully, put the camera on it’s head, aim, set the timer and run over for the shot.  He’s truly a master photographer.

Rob got even more room to spread out his extensive collection.   His displays are incredible.  The upstairs landing where he took the pic is one of the most beautiful and tastefully done displays I have ever seen.  This is the landing.

Michelle is a super cool wife.  She’s a trooper.  Here are some of the other display pics from virtually every room in the house.

On another note, Rob got in a pretty terrible car accident last week.  He got hit by a big rig who had fried its brakes coming down a hill apparently.  When Rob was able to get off to the side up the road a bit and get out of his car to gain his composure, the same truck with no brakes hit him again and almost killed him.  Pretty scary.  He’s a bit banged up and even turned down a game of catch, which isn’t like him.  Glad you are doing O.K. bud.  Get better soon.

John, always good seeing you.

This is why glove collecting is fun…

This is why glove collecting is fun.  The following article appeared in the Sunday edition of the Missoulian.  It’s a nice piece about a glove and its link to the past.  It’s also about a modest guy with an incredible collection who loves and respects the game and that’s cool.  Check it out and let us know what you think.
