I have known of and seen Allen Klapaska at many a show but this is the first time I really got the chance to talk insulators with him. If you talk to Allen you will quickly realize that he is passionate about the hobby and insulators. Like me, Allen loves threadless insulators. His knowledge of them is based on many many years of collecting. Allen is a nice guy (as you can see by that great smile ) and has some definate views about collecting, the hobby, and life in general.
