Ha. Hoyt was from Huntersville, NC - the town nextdoor to my hometown, and where I went to high school. My scoutmaster was Hoyt's cousin, and his son who was one of my best friends had an autographed '54 Topps Hoyt. I also traded cards in junior high school with a Justin Wilhelm - who I believe was either Hoyt's grandson or grand-nephew. NC rural communities can be a very small world.
