The gentleman pictured in the purple shirt is named Bobby. He works with my Dad, and I've known him for ohhhh...about 22 years now. I have always known that he has an artifical leg. I remember him showing it to my when I was a teenager, but really I'd forgotten about.
Well I learned from my 7 year old daughter this weekend that she'd met Bobby during Madison Days and asked him all KINDS of questions. I've known the man for over 20 years and never knew that his leg was bitten off by a SHARK. Imagine that!!!
And here all this time, I thought he lost his leg in a farming accident. Hmmmmm.
I met up with Bobby later that day and told him that I couldn't believe I'd known him all these years and he'd never told me before that his leg with eaten by a shark. You could tell for a second there he didn't know what I was talking about. And then he just started laughing.

My 4-year-old would LOVE to meet someone who had had their leg eaten by a shark...not that that's a good thing, but...ya know...he's a 4 year old boy.
