Friends From the Bottle World

Over the years I’ve taken photographs of people and bottles at shows but they’ve just sat on my computer. In honor of Lou Lambert’s birthday and just because, I thought I had a little extra time on my hands, so I took a look and found some pictures of, well, just about everyone who were at some of the bottle shows. I know I have a lot more somewhere on my computer and will be trying to add more. Some of the people are still with us and others unfortunately are not. I’m glad I was able to capture them at some of their worst and best moments. It just doesn’t seem that long ago.
Jeff

    Thank you Dear Jeff, What a tribute to each of us. I noticed a picture of Randy Selenak and two of Ken Lawler and myself. Something to cheer us up when the COVID-19 took some of our lives and put fear in the rest of us. We will probably return to a New Normal when we are allowed to mingle again. In the meanwhile it is people like you to have the energy and take the time to care about others. I must note your email address and forward our April LAHBC newsletter to you to show the spirit our new Editor, Dave Maryo has. I am his contributing editor and the secretary of our club. Thanks for being you, Jeff. Continue your good work re: “Our Old Glass” Hobby.. Love and Hugs to You, Darlene “Dar” Furda

    Your “Feature” picture of Peck & Audie Markota makes me think fondly of the first time my Wife and I ventured out of Southern California for a bottle related activity. It was, I believe, a 49ern club show in Oakland about 1967, might have been as early as 65. Anyway, it was Peck & Audi who made us feel most welcome along with Alan (sp?) Wilson (Natures Tiffany) . I have and still use Peck & Audi’s books on sodas to mentor new collectors. I have a polaroid picture of Alan’s display at that show. I stood for a LONG time looking in amazement at that display. Benicia Parina ! NOTHING like it.

      Peck was very much the same with me. He introduced me to all the big time collectors and people in the hobby at the first national show I went to. He was a great guy and I will always remember him very fondly.

    Great photos Jeff. Was looking for one of Mike Dolcini, one of those who left us too soon!

      I know I have one, I have another hundred or more, I’ll try and figure out a way to post them. This software only allows 100 at a time.
