Somehow my brother and I did NOT scare off the animal in the above photograph. Actually, the Clydesdales are used to working with all kinds of strange creatures, and we were all having fun at Del Papa Distributing's 100th anniversary celebration. That photograph was taken at the 2nd of 3 parties that the company held to mark the happy event, at the Beaumont distribution center.
The final and biggest party was held last Saturday night at the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston. An estimated 1200 people enjoyed great country music, an amazing spread of food, and, of course, some cold Budweiser beer! The Stonefilms crew had a welcome guest, Billy's beautiful wife Vicki. Our thanks to Jan Glenn for his excellent still photography; I can tell you with certainty that neither of these 2 photographs will make the cut for the final Del Papa book, but there are plenty of other photos to choose from. We continue to work with Bright Sky Press as we dig through a treasure trove of photos new and old to create the 100th anniversary volume.
