Tony is a family friend from many years ago. My Father used to fish with him quite a bit when they were young. I saw him alot when I was a boy as a result, and ended up working with him at the old Glasway, Inc, owners of Tuffy Boats in the 80's. Tony left Glasway to start Tony Boats, and became a competitor, but as I moved on to Skeeter and then back to Tuffy again, he sold the boat company and I lost track of him. He and Sandy were very instrumental in running the Rosemont show, and it hasn't been the same since they left.

Tony retired from his teaching job ( I think he was Zach's high school math teacher). I saw him a year ago at a seminar, and it sounded to me like he was pretty much retired and enjoying life as a result.
