Hello from "the worst city in America", Stockton Ca.

I found this site a couple of weeks ago while researching how to fix my Penn Senator 3/0. I have now rebuilt and upgraded it using
Alan's Penn 111 tutorial and info from other tutorials and lots of email support from Alan the last couple of days. Also a box of parts.

I'm gonna post some pics in the pics forum if I can.

Glad I found this site. Everyone on it is a huge wealth of knowledge and very supportive to each other and a bunch of wise crackers :-).
Stand by Alan and everyone els cause I got a bunch more reels LOL

Aloha Al,

Welcome. Lived in Stockton for a year then ran out of money. Yeah, I went to UOP.

I think it's not as bad as when I was living there, and definitely not as bad as when my friends grew up there. Still, a nice community if you live in the North.

Welcome,
Bryan

Small world Alan. I graduated from Clovis High in '58. Both of my kids in '79 & '80. My son went to Fresno State from 1980 1984. Lots of great memories and still have family & friends in the area. I remember the area east of Clovis when your place was still a farm. I'm not sure what is there now, but probably houses or one of the many Clovis schools. Tom
