Eleven years ago, and not long after I had joined the PGCA, I learned that Allan had made wooden gun shipping boxes for some members. I contacted him attempting to engage him to build one for me. He said that he did not do it commercially, his output was limited, and seemed to be implying that the recipients were confined to established collector colleagues.
Not long afterward, I got this Private Message:
“Russ:
Make sure you look me up at the Foundation dinner on the 24th of this month, I have a gift for you.
Allan”
Soon, I had the box, gratis; and Kathy G. and I had the pleasure of meeting Allan and his wife, Jean, a memorably gracious and congenial couple.
