Clyde Allen Gibson of Gibson & Wirt surely has one of the most unusual and interesting offices. Every wall is covered with photos, plates, antlers, newspaper clippings, bumper stickers, you name it -- whatever he finds interesting or amusing. He and his son, William, were celebrating the firm's 100th anniversary year at an open house on Sept. 14.
