Rockne saved me by agreeing to do a commercial job... by Marc Palumbo

Rockne saved me by agreeing to do a commercial job
(I believe his only one)
for a GE marketing campaign with me.



When I picked him 
up at the airport he looked like 
John Wayne,
big cowboy hat,
big lined sheepskin coat.


When he saw me he 
grinned, big,
I knew there was 
light at the end of the tunnel as he was walking towards me. Rockne Krebs - was my  –  is my hero.

He fired a gun into the ceiling at C.A.V.S.
while Otto Piene was talking.
I would say it was 1978.

I asked him twice about this years later…

…and he walked away mumbling something about it was just a 
pop gun. 1*
