In 2013 after I made an off-hand comment on how amusing it would be to have one of MT’s new cannon sculptures in front of my house, he immediately said, “we could dicker on a price, but you’ve done a lot for me, and I’ll give you one.”  He added that it would be worth a couple hundred dollars in scrap metal, but assumed it wouldn’t scrapped “as long as you’re around.”  Waiting along the gravel road to his studio to be picked-up by the shippers, my #7 cannon appeared briefly when the American Pickers TV show visited MT.  The shippers said they got many humorous reactions while the cannon rode on their open air trailer from Kansas to Pennsylvania.
