Thanks for showing that article. Dale was a classy guy. Very accomplished, in multiple endeavors, but he came across as "just one of the guys" if you didn't know otherwise. Definitely worthy of his HOF status. I sat next to Dale at an early-bird banquet one year and really enjoyed chatting with him.
I have a few antique chips, but it's not really my collecting area. But I have his book and do appreciate them and the stories / history behind them.
Regarding his home, there was a video segment some years ago in which Dale (and his wife?) gave a tour of his unique and impressive home. May have been a local TV station in the Palo Alto area, or one of those real-estate showcases (not HGTV, but something similar?). It's been too long, but maybe it findable out there, or maybe someone recalls.
Thanks for the memory (as Bob Hope would say).
