Scoot, He was so nice. We didn't want to bother him so we kept the pictures to a minimum. But he knew just what to do as if he had done it a million times. He would bring his two fists up near his chin and smile a perfect grin while wearing a nice Irish cap that I haven't seen since the 80's. Looked like John Wayne in The Quiet Man. Funny thing was that one of the fathers in a our group was NOT a science buff. He's a tough sorta guy from the Bronx trapped inside this museum. He feels comfortable with me since he's a carpenter and I'm an electrician. Anyway, it turns out he's a big boxing buff. He was the one who recognized Cooney. He said, "Here I am, with all this scientific stuff wasted on me, and I discover Gerry Cooney who walked through this nerd-fest not having to sign a single autograph until I find him. And I end up with the biggest thrill of everyone here. It was funny. The dude was so happy to have his picture taken with him. Cooney would have probably went the whole weekend as a just a regular joe is it wasn't for him. -Clapper
