Photo by Richard Barlow from him and Jim Anderson.
Taken at the Great Grape Gathering of SAM86 in 2007.  Caption by Jim Anderson - "The Great Grape Gathering has been held every year since 1971. SAM 86 sponsors this contest and we have an eclectic mix but the events are mainly SAM. In 2007 we were fortunate to have Lin Reichel join us for the first time with his Erie Pennsylvania club, and run the FAC part of the contest. We were looking forward to having him and Ross Mayo join us again but, sadly, it was not to be. The attached photo was taken by Richard Barlow, President of MAAC, at GGG 2007 There was Lin doing what he loved to do.". |
