email from Dennis Bray to Jerry Forbes and myself. I thought I could do a few plugs here….
Hi Jerry & Ferdinand:
Hope you guys are doing well. I was just wondering if either of you were going to the Downieville (see Downieville Antique Bottles & Collectibles Show) show this weekend?
Also, I sold my western soda collection (see picture below) yesterday. Sort of going through buyers remorse. Oh well, guess I’m really committed to EC&M insulators now! (see Dennis Bray’s EC&M Insulators)
Hope to see you both soon, take care,
Denny
YES! Leaving for Reno tomorrow and off to Downieville, California Friday. Can’t Wait!

A good portion of Denny’s soda collection will be for sale (individually) at the Downieville Show. See you all there!

Can’t wait. Fly in to Reno Friday mid day and drive west…unless Texas burns up by then
Great seeing and visiting with you Ferd the last couple days at Downieville. I just re-read my original email regarding the soda collection and see I said buyers remorse. I meant to say “SELLERS” remorse. I guess the pain & stress of being seperated from those western sodas confused me. However, Dwayne Anthony & Mike Southworth granted me visitation rights to the ones they kept for their collections. I seen several others going to good homes at today’s bottle show too. Hope you were able to find a western bitters to add to your #1 bitters collection today too Ferd. What a great show today and even better get together at Rick & Cherri Simi’s Friday evening!
