Guest dapy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Yes. How old was he at the time? I met him in SB in 1948. Edited August 24, 2014 by dapy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 It was at the Renwick Gallery which is several blocks from the main Smithsonian buildings on the National Mall. It was interesting how they got an Avanti in the room...turned it 90 degrees on its ends on a platform to get it through the doors then back to normal to set it on the floor. That was a real trick.
