Thursday trivia

Here is an easy one for you. On the carving board, there is a question about carving a wooden Indian. That reminded me about this question:

In the series "Cheers", there is a wooden Indian in front of the barber shop. What is the name of the Indian?

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Re: Thursday trivia

I was a Cheers fan but memory is fading. However the name that is hazy in my mind is the same name as a Civil War guy's middle name.

By chance correct?

My memory is even foggier. I don't remember a barber shop.

But if the indian, OOPS, Native American you are speaking of is the one I think it is he is also known as a gas engine.

It is the same name as a small city in Lenawee County about 40 miles SW of you, Dan. ;)
