Alan DeMaison was inducted into the prestigious 2024 FOHBC Hall of Fame. This award was presented at the Houston 24 Dinosaurs Banquet on 02 August 2024 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science Morian Hall of Paleontology. Alan is a family man first and an educator by trade. He was the FOHBC Treasurer for seven years and Business Manager for three years. Alan’s leadership and commitment to the FOHBC are evident in his role as one of the three founding members of the FOHBC Virtual Museum, where he serves as the Museum’s primary fund-raiser and treasurer. He also oversees all image photography for the Museum spins. Alan was awarded the prestigious FOHBC President’s Award in 2009 and is instrumental in the Ohio Bottle Club, where he was president for 15 years, newsletter editor for five years, and webmaster of the site he designed in 2014. Alan collects Meadville Rye Whiskey collectibles and history and has a Facebook page sharing related images and historical information. His modest Historical Flask collection and his “War Slogan” milk bottle collection are a testament to his passion for history and preservation. See PDF of Hall of Fame submission for Alan DeMaison (In progress).
