The twine ball was my next door neighbor growing up. I remember it when it just started out many years ago. He is 76 now and still showing it off -- and still proud of his work.

We visited JFK on 7-17-17. He was just as gracious as others described. The twine ball is now 10 feet tall and weighs 22,670 pounds.
