  Becerra said Manske Rolls gained international fame during WWII when American soldiers took them to bases as far away as Guam. "We're important to people, and it's not so much for the roll but what it represented, what it tied things to in their life," he said. "It's a big deal. And to be able to continue that for people, I find that the biggest compliment and blessing."
