MADISON - A
Wisconsin man who got his cheesehead hat signed by President
Barack Obama has decided to donate it to a museum rather than
sell it on eBay.
Mansfield
Neblett told The Associated Press on Friday in an e-mail that he
decided to donate the triangular, bright yellow hat to the
Wisconsin Historical Society. Obama signed it during a visit
Wednesday to a Madison middle school that Neblett's daughter
attends.
The 46-year-old
Neblett had said on Wednesday at Obama's speech that he was
considering selling the distinctive cheesehead hat on eBay. The
Liberian immigrant soon had second thoughts and said he decided
instead to donate it.
He says,
"Wisconsin has been good to me and I believe this is the
right thing to do."
