    Default Allison 50th Anniversary Pictures

    These are just the first set from Friday at the Allison Craft 50th reunion. I should have more by tomorrow when my family gets back

    They've been calling me and telling me about all the people I didn't get to meet. Like Bob Valachovic and Kenny Kitson But hopefully I'll get to meet you both at the Switzer Reunion in Sept. I just had too many things going on to make it to this one.

    I think everyone will recognize this first picture --- my son Parker called me on the cell phone and said, "MOM! Guess what I am standing next to!"

    The next pictures are of a rare Allison from the past...

    They also payed a visit to Paul Allison's unique home. He is quite the artist!


    I believe the man second from left is Jim Hunt (?), followed by Louis Collins and Paul Allison. The man on the far right is Jim Contzen, current owner of Hydrostream.
