Hi folks -
Here are some of my pictures - I hope you enjoy them -
Mr. Lem Motlow's burial site -
Mr. Daniel's burial site, with my sippy cup in attendance.
and a toast in Mr. Jack's honor.
Mr. Lucchesi arriving right at 9am
Maggie with Mr. Lucchesi - he signed our calendar, although he was not there for the signing.
On to the signing - it was held in the "Lindberg Room"
Mr. Nolan -
Mr. Lucchesi relaxing outside the Bottle Shop
They had something new (to me) - you could get your bottle engraved! I had TSA logos and my name/plot number engraved on some bottles.
What you see here is the laser engraver putting a TSA logo on a bottle of Unaged Rye -
At the Bottle Shop, they were selling 2012 Ducks Unlimited, Master Distiller 1, Unaged Rye, 160 Birthday, and 2012 Holiday Select bottles.
The logo on the top of the Barrel Shop building -
A little game of checkers with Mr. Fanning -
My friend and fellow Tennessee Squire, Mike, invited Maggie and I back to his house just off the square in Lynchburg - Mike's wife, Beth, had some delicious-smelling pork cooking, and Mike has a collection that could easily start a museum!
Mike has a ton of documentation, as well as a great (and large) collection of bottles and such. Here is a letter from Winton Smith to the then retired Jessie Gamble, informing Mr. Gamble of his induction into the TSA -
And Mr. Gamble's TSA Deed - glad to see they were the same as the one I received just over 10 years later -
It was a very busy day at the Distillery, and there were many tours going, even though it was only just at freezing. Here were are at the cave spring and the statue of Mr. Jack, with our tour guide, Bettie Patton -
We made our way over to Miss Mary Bobo's for a splendid meal - we ate in the Evans Room on this visit.
As we ate, it began to snow fairly hard!
Back over to the Visitor's Center, to get another bottle engraved and to visit the Squire Room - which, by the way, the gift was a 2013 TSA shot and on the rocks glass - very nice!
In the Squire's Room - I wanted to get this shot, as this is a logo in the Sinatra Select pamphlet - and the story of where it was first seen -
Our Squire Lady, Mina, shows off a metal sign of SOB, that was sent to her by a fellow Squire.
There were, sadly, no Sinatra Select bottles to be had anywhere, but plenty of Unaged Rye.
Maggie and I met some great people, and had a great time, packing a lot of fun into a three day weekend.
