Since it's election season, I thought I'd share this.

I was a page at the 1988 Republican National Convention and spent quite a bit of time roving the floor looking for celebrities, newspeople, and politicos. The result was the this press guide with these signatures. I've identified most of them but maybe someone can help with the rest.

Here is who I've identified so far: (going clockwise from the top)

Orrin Hatch
Tom Brokaw
Sam Donaldson
Dan Rather
Walter Cronkite
Tom Kean, former NJ Governor
Joe Paterno
Phil Gramm
Evan Mecham, former AZ Governor
Pete Wilson
Gordon Humprhey, former Senator from N. Hampshire
Neil Bush
Connie Chung
John Chancellor
Chris Wallace
Jim Bunning
Arch Moore, former WV Governor
George Deukmejian, former CA Governor

That leaves 5 signatures on the guide. I think on the right side is Ed Bradley. The other four (just below Hatch, in the center, and two on the left side below Bunning). If anyone can help, I'd be grateful

    That is Dan Quayle. He did an event in my area later in the campaign and I got him to sign it.

    Thanks!

    Where the hell you been? Hope all is well.

    I liked the way Neil Bush signed, with "3rd son of next President" under his name!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Not sure who those signatures are. Very neat piece though. John Chancellor was the narrator on the Ken Burns Baseball Documentary.
