As I mentioned earlier in the drop cord thread, I'm in Richmond this week exhibiting at a forestry/logging trade show (my part time job is setting up the booth for a major construction equipment company). I enjoy watching the TV show "Swamp Loggers" and hoped that Tiger Cat may invite Bobby Goodson to sign autographs in their booth so I could get one for my father.
When I arrived at the show this afternoon to tear down the booth, Eddie, the Tiger Cat set up guy told me that Bobby had indeed shown up about an hour earlier and signed until the show ended, but had just left. I walked back to our booth disappointed.
About 20 minutes later I looked up and Eddie was bringing Bobby Goodson into the booth to meet me. I've got to say I have met few men that was as humble and likeable as Bobby Goodson. He stood there for about 10 minutes and talked like an old friend. He answered all my questions as if he was enjoying it, although I'm sure he has heard them many times. Talked about his family values. Just a very pleasant conversation and one that he didn't have to take the time for.
It sure is nice meeting nice people.

BTW my father is going to love his new autoghaphed cap.
