Tom Morgan in San Francisco

Here are some rare pictures of the Winston shop in San Francisco from the mid 1970's. In 1973 Tom Morgan bought Winston from Doug Merrick, then the sole owner of Winston after Lew Stoner passed away in 1957. We see how a very young Tom is learning the rod building craft from Doug. Tom Morgan passed away June 12, 2017.

Thank you Frederick E. Grafeld for the pictures (Copyright 2016)!
