A little off the beaten path but sometimes that's where you will find me.
Thanks to a fellow board member, the T209-2 Gunderson poked it's head out, eye-balled me, struck when the iron was hot. (I love mixing metaphors). I already had his T210-7 Red Border, he only had 2 cards.

Ya see, Oliver Gunderson was born and lived in Cumberland, WI (both of my parents' stomping grounds). Thinking enough of his pitching talents, he schleps to Goldsboro to pitch in the Eastern Carolina League in 1910. After appearing in 19 games, going 9-9; he returns to cheeseland; baseball career over.

Besides the regional/historical interest that I have in Mr. Gunderson; I am still tracking a family tree connection as well; I have "Halvorson", "Hoveland", "Huset" running through my tree; and at some point, a Gunderson married a Hoveland up der.
Ooooooh, happy hunting Ben!

Thanks Mike.
