Titletown Surprise

#1

Post by OCOC121 »

Many thanks to Ken, Rob, Del, and a host of others for all the work you've been putting into the Titletown Trade-A-Thon.

The best part of the show for me was that Jim Friesen was in attendance. For those who don't know Jim, he is one of the nicest guys of beer can collecting world. For the last seven months, Jim has been full time caring for his wonderful wife. His daughter insisted that he get out of the condo and go to the show. Besides the show, another event that has brightened Jim's spirits is a well deserved nomination to the BCCA Hall of Fame. Below are some of the OCOC members from the show with Jim on the right.

Agreed on Jim, it was my first Titletown and first Jim experience. The guy has one of those never ending smile.
