The last time we held the Western Heritage Awards in 2019, I, Michael Grauer, McCasland Chair of Cowboy Culture/Curator of Cowboy Collections and Western Art, had the opportunity to give a vault tour to Grainger Hines and Rex Linn. On the Sunday after the WHA supper, I was asked to give a museum-wide tour for Kevin Costner and his people. Rex Linn tagged along, but he brought a cup of coffee in a Styrofoam cup with him. When we got to the galleries I told Mr. Linn he couldn’t bring the coffee into the galleries.
