Work sentenced me to hard labor halfway across the country and I got the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Fred in Pa.  Was absolutely great to catch up on our changing lives and he was so kind as to take the afternoon off and show me not only his but some collections around the area.  Took me to Fred Wilke's  to see his wonderful stuff and then it was exciting to see the younger generation into Allis collecting.  Guys like Zach and Cody give new life to our addiction and typical Allis guys, absolutely great guys to be around.  I did manage to get a rare photo of Fred standing by his service truck as shown below.
