From Ron: It was really weird, but as I was reading about past presidential elections, I came across this drawing of when Andrew Jackson was sworn into office in 1829. If you look closely, you can see the shark blanket on the table under Andrew's hand. Even more amazing is that the blue fringe that Nat and Colie talked about is still on it.
I have no idea of how Grandma Goodell got a hold of this blanket!

Ah Ha! No WONDER it's such an amazing blanket! It happens to be a national treasure! And it's still in contact because there are CIA agents keeping it alive!
It's all making sense to me now!!!
Do you have to loan it to McCain or Obama? Let's hope not! Maybe it's time to get one of those fire and bullet proof safes...
Love, Nat
Too funny and too real. Perhaps you should be the next president since you have the most prized possession in the nation. You would know what to do......
Did you guys know that it was the familial shark blanket that made the US the hegemon that it is? It's no wonder we lead both militarily as well as economically. From this picture it is clear that he who holds the shark blanket holds the power. Love!
Time to check with Antiques Roadshow!
