Thanks for the ability to see some of Berts work again , it was like being at his house again , he and julia was a friend and neighbor of my grandparents , and also did some construction work for them while they lived in Gearhart OR. We ate dinner at there house a few times and I never grew tired of hearing stories of his life . I was lucky to get a tattoo when I was 14 years old , after alot of begging to my Mom . My Grandmother received two swallow , bird tattoos from him , I believe one while he did some documentery or maybe during his tattoo hall of fame induction , but my Grandpa was always too chicken to be tattoed , not that Bert didnt try almost every time we saw him . We even took care of his dog Godfrey for six months or so ,when I was in gradeschool . Thanks for the cool museum !
