Miamisburg Ohio Two different H-2 Over-The-Top openers advertising Star City Bottling Co. of Mi- amisburg, OH. I have not seen other ex- amples of Star City openers but for a small bottling company they made two different runs of the -H 2 opener. Anyone else own a Star City opener? -— 2019 JFO Convention #41 April 24-28, 2019 Doubletree Suites Dayton-Miamisburg OH -– The Miamisburg, OH convention is six weeks off and we have 18 attendees at this point. Don’t miss out on the openers, corkscrews and fun times at JFO. The local beer collectors will be stopping so if you have any general beer advertising items you want to sell please bring them along. The best news I got this past month was the original sales person I had worked with, who got another job last year, is back. Just really awesome to work with. Pat has written her column on things to do in the Dayton/Miamisburg area. Any- one wanting to come at the last minute contact me. There are several nearby hotels but the Doubletree should have rooms available. As Ollie Hibbeler always said, “BE THERE!”. ——————--— 2020 JFO Convention #42 April ??? 2020 Quakertown PA ———————— Just a short note to say I have made preliminary plans for next year’s convention to be at the Hampton Inn in Quaktertown, Pa. I am still negotiating a contract but hope to have the details worked out by June. ————–———————————--— Member’s Update —————————-———————— Lance Aldridge, who just joined JFO in 2017, passed away Nov 11, 2018 in his sleep. I only met him for one day at last years’ Seattle con- vention. A really nice guy from Floresville, Tx. Lance told me he had bought some of Jeb Bur- russ’ Texas openers and he really liked buying the “good stuff” (Tommy Campnell and I helped him do that in Seattle). Our condolenc- es to his wife Marrie and the Aldredge family. Lance at a local beer show and Lance buying openers from Jeb Burruss at another Texas beer show. RIP Lance.
