The SOB Governor

On this day in 1992, Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson was made an honorary member of the Society of Oshkosh Brewers. Thompson was touring the area when SOB Jim Lundstrom presented him with a club t-shirt and a hastily written proclamation making him an honorary SOB. The confused Governor frowned. Then he read the proclamation, smiled and replied, “I’ve been called an SOB before.” The picture below was taken moments before Thompson’s SOB induction experience.
