    4. A LITTLE ABOUT AL REYNOLDS Father, husband, friend, and mandolin player Alvin Reynolds III passed away in April 2001, several years after receiving a liver transplant. A Hanover area resident for most of his life, Al was known widely through the Richmond area bluegrass network as a knowledgeable and competent artist, as well as a devoted and charitable friend. He was good-humored, encouraging, and unhesitatingly supportive of playing benefits to support others in need. Musically, Al had an uncanny ability to balance tradition and originality. The first Rainmaker Festival in 2001 was organized to honor Als memory and to provide his family with financial relief in the wake of his passing. Alvins wife Mary Nelson and daughter Laura continue to be guests of honor at the festival, advising event organizers, and representing the Reynolds familys service-minded value system.
