RIP Minnie. He was great fun to talk to and I always enjoyed watching him get his ruler/straight edge and lay it down on your item when he signed it so the signature would be on a straight line. Super player.

Jeff, I caught up with Minnie in 1957 and have often wondered about the autograph that he signed for me. It never quite looked like others I have seen, but neither he nor I had a straight edge that day.
