He was a big Boston Celtics star in the 50s.  All of the 
signatures on the covers were hall of fame players and 
coaches.

I can answer that - most of it's not worth much any more.

Sure beats buying a new one; similar new chairs would be 
$400 each.

Knowing cats, yep.

It's been done, but generally receptions are held off 
site.  The other problem with the room is what we 
laughably call the kitchen.  It's all being ripped out 
sooner or later.

Could be, but it probably won't be my job.

Maple pollen here.  Similar results.
