A Reel With A Bit Of History

Post by Jonathan P. Kring »



When looking through the downsized collection I have I came across this Bronson Reel whose former owners have a bit of history with ORCA. First belonged to deceased member Robert Ellis and then to now inactive member Rick Heitman, now to what's left of me!

Many fine reels came out of Robert's collection, which was extensive. Thanks for sharing, Jon. Wonder what happened to Rick?

Last I knew he had retired and was pursuing other interests. Downsized much of his collection. Haven't heard anything from him for awhile.
