Hey, Old's Cool, lol;
723 Bobier, probably & the same cross as the 845 Bobier;
As I saw aNd heard him say once: 'Bow - Beer',
if you're wondering.
He drew an imaginary bow back and also depicted drinking a beer. Great, funny guy. eg

Wow thank you for the history lesson. Maybe some day I'll do the same when some new grower is like "What's the 2365?"

He was also well known for dealing pumpkin poker at Niagara!

He got me good with raffle ticket sales:
Something like "Two for Ten or 4 for Twenty!";
Of course, I spent the $20.
A much-wiser grower than I said to the whole table
'Did he get y'all with (That equation)'?
I thought 'Aww, Jeez...', lol---eg
