Forgive my spotty posting! \u00a0I just finished a four day tour and we went night and day until it was over and I collapsed! \u00a0I will rest up and catch up, I promise. \u00a0I saw something during the tour that really brought back a great memory. When I was shooting at the Law Railroad Museum they had a bottle room with all kinds of great antique bottles. \u00a0In the corner of one display they had a group of 6 0z. Coca Cola bottles with the name of the bottling plant in the bottom of the bottle. \u00a0When I was a young boy my father was the manager of a Coca Cola plant and I grew up on the lore of Coke. \u00a0Me and my friends would by Cokes out of the machine at the corner store (5 cents!!!), \u00a0and the person who had the bottle furthest away from Harlan had to pay! \u00a0If there were five of us it cost that person a whole quarter! \u00a0Fond memories.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The workshop that just ended provided another set of very fond memories! \u00a0It was wonderful fellowshiping with the great people that came to this event. \u00a0I’ve known Bill Pekala for a long time, but I can’t remember having more fun just hanging out with him. \u00a0I’ve known R.C. for a relatively short period of time, but he turned out to be a great companion in the field! \u00a0I enjoyed my team, Jim, Snake, Richard, and Jim Haverstock immensely! \u00a0I could go on and end up naming every single person there, but trust me it was truly special.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I finally got rested up today as we set up and opened the facility at Reno. \u00a0I was struck at just how blessed I am to have such great friends, then the blessing just increased as I got to spend time ith Mark Kettenhofen and Moose Peterson and his family. \u00a0God has richly blessed me and I am so thankful!<\/p>\n
