Alan Blakeman, from across the pond, either left his wallet on his table or has the Olympic spirit. Go Alan!
Where in the h*** is Alan Blakeman going?
Alan, from the UK, has the Reno OLYMPIC Spirit!
Sorry, I have not been keeping up to date with posts. I am a bit behind due to getting the FOHBC Bottles and Extras out to the printer with the Reno Expo articles and images. This will be a special issue filled to the brim with Expo news.
While we have thousands of photographs from our professional photographer, Scott Selenak, I was quite impressed with the next series that shows the gates opening at 1:00 pm on Friday afternoon for Dealers and Early Buyers. Alan Blakeman from the UK, gets my vote, for having the Olympic spirit at the Reno Expo.

Alan was all excited about his climb up the north face of Yosemite’s iconic Half Dome. I haven’t heard, but believe that he has completed it by now.
