I had the opportunity to have a nice visit with Bill and Bea Baab of Augusta, Georgia last evening. Bill is a bottle legend and was recently inducted into the FOHBC Hall of Fame. I have previously written about Bill (Read Bill Baab – A Tribute to a Man Who Has Done So Much) so I do not want to repeat myself here. The fun thing was to visit their charming house and talk. Bill and Bea are such energetic people who put people half their age to shame. They are surrounded by primarily Augusta, GA bottles, pottery, books, fishing items, baskets and photographs of nature that Bea mostly took. Anyway…thought I would post a few pictures. What a nice visit!

I am pleased to have the opportunity to see some of Bill and Bea’s collection. They are great people who have given a lot to advancing our hobby and it was a pleasure witnessing the induction of Bill into the Hall of Fame during the FOHBC Convention in Memphis this year.
