No, but on a fall Saturday in 1999 I bought this in a Saint Johnsbury bookstore 2 hours before covering a football game.

I met him at Pimlico years ago. I had a print he'd done of Secretariat and it was incredible. I told him that. He said thank you. Very brief encounter. That's all I got

My parents met him decades ago, he did a series of three Ohio State football paintings and signed an artist proof of this one to them. My Dad went to Ohio State in the Woody Hayes era and loved this (it's a pass so of course Woody is freaking out), and Mom let me take it three years ago when Dad died.
