GERMANTOWN, Wis. (AP) -- When Gov. Scott Walker makes campaign stops, he often obliges supporters who ask him to pose for pictures or autograph signs and T-shirts. But one Menomonee Falls man found an even more prominent way to show his loyalty.

Walker was visiting supporters Sunday in Germantown when he met 81-year-old Stan Larson. Larson smiled and asked him to sign the hood of his sparkling red 1965 Mustang using a permanent marker.

Walker asked if Larson was sure. When Larson said yes, Walker wrote, "On Wisconsin!" and his signature. The message covered less area than the size of a business card.

Larson says he's grateful for the autograph. He says, "I'm [dang] proud of my car and I'm [dang] proud of my governor," and he's elated to show off both of them.
