Everyone who met Webber Borchers had a story about him, and nearly everyone in the area had at least met him; more likely, had heard a bunch of stories from him. When I worked as a stockboy at a lumber yard in Decatur IL during high school, Mr Borchers would come in once in a while, settle in a porch swing facing the sales & checkout counter and shoot the breeze with the salesmen, customers, stockboys, whoever walked by. He had a million stories to tell - he was the second Chief Illiniwek in 1930, he had a house full of looted Nazi memorabilia from his WW2 days, he was a long-serving Republican in the Illinois House; that's just off the top of my head after 25 years.
