Hey Fred,
Before you started, really, right before you started this episode of the podcast I decided I was going to write you to see what was going on with Tony Manzoni. I hadn’t heard anything or any questions for him in quite some time, so I was wondering.
To my dismay, at the beginning of this episode, you told of Tony’s battle with cancer and eventual passing. I did not know Tony, but did receive his DVD. Since receiving the DVD, I have been working on his swing technique. It has been a bucket list item for me to go California for lessons with Tony. Alas, that is not going to happen.
He seemed like he would have been a great guy to meet in person and obviously very knowledgeable. I am sorry for his passing and want to pass along my condolences to his family if that is possible.
Thanks,
Don
