Pete's Shoe Shine
My Uncle Pete's Shoe Shine is now on display at the Bucyrus Historical Society. I recently went there as a news reporter to interview the new curator for an article and took my dad along. He explained all of the history behind the shoe shine and I got some really good photos out of the interview and presented on of my books to the museum! Win-win!
