Smile Wally in Baker City Heritage Museum and T-shirt

Yesterday we visited the Baker Heritage Museum in Baker City, Orgeon, Wally Byam's birth place. It has a small display about Wally and Airstream. For me, though, the real gem is a Wally T-shirt that I bought in the gift shop. In large letters on the front it says ".. it all Byam July 4, 1896, Baker City, Oregon". Next to the writing is a photo of a young Wally wearing a suit, complete with vest and bow tie. The photo is captioned Wallace Byam Age 8 Years.

The gift shop had 4 of these shirts, and they told me that there will be
no more when these are gone. They initally had 24 shirts, and after my purchase they have only three left (a medium, a X-L and a XX-L).
