It is an amazing resemblance. Folk who know him say he is very calm, too.
ReplyDeleteMay the force be with him.
ReplyDeleteHumboldt must have some kinda starwars theme going...hicks and city slickers joke that they see wookies up here all the time, too.
ReplyDeleteStill no word from old Ben Kanobi known locally as Robert Firestone.
ReplyDeletePlease look for this man that looks like OB1 Kanobi, you're his only hope.
Please, if anyone sees him or thinks they do, please call the Sheriff's dept because they are slowing down the search since there are no new leads
ReplyDeleteStill no sign of OB1. We still have hope that he is doing something important.
