[Jim Gardner - Governor Sign]

Photograph of a red sign with white text that says "Jim Gardner" above a line and "Governor" below. Narrative by Junebug Clark: This was an election poster I picked up after election day, somewhere down South. I had a brother in law, Jim Gardner, that I planned to give this to. I mounted it and before I was able to give it to him, Jim passed away. It kind of "slipped" here in to the collection. More of a personal memory and treasure.
