Thanks, Steve!

Excellent video.

A tribute to a great company that has stood the test of time —- and continues to do so today.

Tony, One of my greatest memories in my life, is when you gave my wife and I a personal tour of the Penn plant —- when this was still possible.

You spent half a day taking us through every part of the operation.  It was above fantastic.

We will never forget your knowledge, kindness, and expertise —- and taking time out of your busy schedule for a couple from California.

Tony is now in charge of maybe 9 brands currently.  And he still will take the time to help me out when needed.

Impressive!

Best, Fred

Great company and great employees.  Thanks for posting that video.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Wow. Penn doing things the right way. Thanks for sharing and so great to see that they are still in Philly. I was born just down the road at UPenn Hospital. Russ

There's a good chance Tony had to mop slobber off the floor after our AT rogue's gallery tour walked the parts aisles. It was extremely cool seeing the Internationals getting milled and anodized, the staff lubing gear with drums of Penn blue, and all the rest.

Thank you again for that, Tony!

So cool to be able to see the inside workings of such a fantastic facility that is historic, old school, and contemporary all at the same time! - john
