Schweitzer's had a "Sports Memorabilia" Auction at Harvest Hall here in Seward today. I went down early while Elaine was at the Beauty Shop and was impressed with the amount of very interesting items. I heard that the merchandise was all owned by a fellow from Lincoln. The inventory would have filled a good sized sport store. Feature items included a Dodger Baseball shirt worn by Sandy Koufax and a Manning football jersey. The display of balls, bats, plaques, etc. reminded me of the New York Yankee Museum in the new stadium when we visited it in '09. It would take someone like Darin Erstad to gather in such a collection.
Had the Auction been held a year ago when we were in our house, I don't know what all I may have bought but didn't get anything today. Ken Baldinger drives the Brookdale van and also the County Handy Bus and took 10 of us "Residents" on a Field Trip to Dwight, NE, this afternoon. It was nice to get out in the country even though it was a cool, cloudy day. The Grotto at the Assumption Church was most interesting and in contrast to the simplicity of former Poet Laureate Ted Kooser's Office. The sign in the window says: "poetry repaired".
