JOHN RANES IS MISSING!!

Post by Keith Hewitt »

A unique photo was taken yesterday at SACA - Bologna - the world's biggest frame show.
In early 1990's a group photo was taken at the Madrid Frame show of the overseas exhibitors.
This same group of luminaries (!) :roll: gathered again at SACA for another photo 17 years later. Sadly the only missing person was John Ranes!
I will post the pic when I get home as I'm not computer wise enough to do it overseas!

What did I miss?

Keith,

So nice of you to think of me.....I've missed this SACA show and gathering for the past two year. I can't decide which I miss more? The fantastic food or the wonderful friends!

I understand that this was the 25th annual SACA show.....too bad I missed this one..........hopefully I'll be back there next year.

Nor me, and it's just down the road - Bologna Regis - the last resort!
