Title: Meanwhile, in Rochester

Gibson CEO Honored in Home Town (http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/News/en-us/Gibson-CEO-Honored-in-Home-Town.aspx)

I didn't know he was born in Argentina. Makes me wonder if he regards Juan PerĂ³n as the ideal administrator.

I had known that, but forgotten about it. Could be that his Polish parents had fled from the German invasion or left shortly after the war.

Scott......You should have cornered Henry outside the Eastman and sold him on your Badbird.

....or just slipped on in his pocket, so he would later think HE dreamed it up and order it used on TBird reissues.

Rochester is an odd place. Appropriate that Henry grew up there.

Do you know that Rochester has one of the only rivers in the world that flows backwards.....south to north?  The Genesee River....makes good Genesee Beer though :)

The Red River (of the North) flows south to north too. Right through Fargo, another odd place, don'cha know.
