Thanks for the link. I’ve never heard of Wildar before; what an amazing character. Someone had a lot of fun writing that Wikipedia article:
“However, the story about Widlar bringing a goat to trim the lawn in front of his office, retold by The New York Times after his death,[14] was incorrect.[19] It was a sheep, not a goat;[68] Widlar brought her in his Mercedes-Benz convertible for just one day, which included a photo op for the local journalists.[19] According to Pease, Widlar abandoned her in the nearest bar;[19] according to Lojek the sheep was ‘mysteriously stolen’.[68]”
