Bill,
Do you remember Mickey Powell
I do now.
He ran or worked at Buz's. He was a fine guy.
Mickey Powell was related to Buz. Not sure if he was his brother in law or nephew
This is a common misconception. Powell rods were never built on Loomis blanks. I have a legal document that confirms this. Powell and Loomis shared a blank rolling facility…initially in Oregon and then Washington. But the mandrels were proprietary and the tapers were specific to each company. They alternated production for the two companys. Gary could not have made his big new facility in WA work without the equipment that Walt brought to the table.
