Well, that was an emotional interview. 😢 It's not easy asking difficult questions and it's not easy hearing the response. Philip is the best of the best!

I was a friend and follower of Steve Howard and losing him was the hardest pill to swallow. Saw him at the Grove 2 weeks before his passing at Lincoln. It will be 49 years this August. I still break down when I look through the photo album of pictures and clippings from his career. It's something you never get over 😢

I saw Carson Macedo develop substantially when he was paired up with Joe Gaerte. I think Joe helped a lot.

Great interview. Always hear the name but did not even know what he looked like - I also somehow thought he was from Central PA.
