I just saw our big, loveable, huggable KrautWagon salesman. He was peddaling his wares at the Spring Thaw in Allentown, Pa. We chatted for about a half-hour. Getting ready to leave soon on a Metz tour of the great, white North. He said to say hello to everyone!

I got to drive it once. Let's just say I'm smart enough not to drag race him in it."Loyalty Above all Else. Except Honor."

In other news, I felt bad for Tony when I ran into him at FDIC, standing outside in a 40-degree snow squall flying his stick along with the T-Rex. Buy that man some long underwear!Career Fire Captain

I was thrilled to see Tony at FDIC where we got to speak briefly. Few people that I've come across in my short span of selling apparatus have impacted me like Tony, so it was good to see him well. My only regret is that we couldn't speak more. (Thanks again Tony for giving my cohorts the ride of their lives in the shopping cart. It was fun hearing the people in line whine why "those" guys got to be up there so long.)
A funny little tidbit, speaking with some of the Metz boys that were outside at the show, Tony's days of torturing the rear tires of his demo units are now done with the advent of stability control and traction control. (For those that don't know, he'd floor the demo at full steering lock, get the inside rear dual "light" and burn rubber in a smoking donut that was beyond description.) I'll bet a little piece of Tony died when that trick came out of his usual playbook...
There's more stories I could tell, but I'll save them. I sure miss that character."Share your knowledge - it's a way to achieve immortality." - Stolen from Chase Sargent's Buddy to Boss program
