Former President Obama Gets A Valentino Dixon Original For Christmas
/Michelle Obama purchased a Valentino Dixon original of Augusta National’s 12th hole as a Christmas gift for husband Barack Obama.
Max Adler, who wrote the original story that helped lead to Dixon’s release for a wrongful conviction, reports on how the gift came about.
His story was recently told again in a segment on HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that aired this October, which the former First Lady saw and was moved by. (Publicity disclosure: I’m interviewed in this show for my part in reporting the case.)
Dixon was both moved and surprised to get a phone call from Michelle’s assistant inquiring about an original.
