@sk76 and nobody with a camera for a selfie! I suppose that's the origin of autographs, some tangible thing to show off from an encounter.
@ottaross the more I look at it the more I think it’s mostly reporters, not autograph hunters. He’s standing right outside the Chicago Tribune building. No press photographers though (except the one taking this pic 😂)
@sk76 oh that makes sense.

@ottaross

I was wrong! (happens a lot)
