Rockne saved me by agreeing to do a commercial job
(I believe his only one)
for a GE marketing campaign with me.
When I picked him
up at the airport he looked like
John Wayne,
big cowboy hat,
big, lined sheepskin coat.
When he saw me he
grinned, big,
I knew there was
light at the end of the tunnel as he was walking towards me.
Rockne Krebs - was my – is my hero.
He fired a gun into the ceiling at C.A.V.S.
while Otto Piene was talking.
I would say it was 1978.
I asked him twice about this years later…
…and he walked away mumbling something about it was just a
pop gun.
