MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man who got his cheesehead hat signed by President Barack Obama has decided to donate it to a museum rather than sell it on eBay.

Mansfield Neblett told The Associated Press on Friday in an e-mail that he decided to donate the triangular, bright yellow hat to the Wisconsin Historical Society. Obama signed the hat Wednesday during a visit to a Madison middle school that Neblett's daughter attends.

The 46-year-old Neblett had said Wednesday he was considering selling the distinctive hat on eBay. The Liberian immigrant soon had second thoughts and said he decided instead to donate it.

He says, "Wisconsin has been good to me, and I believe this is the right thing to do."
