FLASHPOINT for Oct 16, 2007

The strange case of the Larry Ruvo plaque continues to percolate. When I first reported that the Family Gibbons had painted over the brass lettering on a mansion building dedicated to the spirit man and philanthropist, I was amused that a gubernatorial intimate told me Gibbons didn't know about it - as if bored state workers with extra paint just did it. Now Northern columnist Guy Farmer has come to their defense, congratulating the Gibbonses for covering up the name of - cover your eyes - "a wealthy Las V egas liquor distributor." Oh, the horror! Smashmouth activist Chuck Muth has eviscerated the painting decision, writing that Gibbons "should correct this unfortunate mistake immediately." If he knows anything about it, that is.
