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.

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
I know all the things you do for the bottle world. I think it’s great and I help because I can, same as you.
Thank You-
Nice…….in the end its all about memories

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.
The picture of Ethical Ed Harold Made me smile. He was a great guy to know ! Miss him.
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.
