As a sales rep for Big Rock Sports also known as Henry's Tackle it was my honor to call on Mike at Lauderdale Marina for about 20 years. The memories are numerous and all good. Mike was my 7am Tuesday morning sales call for much of that time. I cant remember the names but there was a group of at least 6 locals that would gather in the morning for coffee and conversation. As I look back those were some good times. Mike, if you are looking down and reading the posts I promise you I always gave you the best deals I could. May God bless you my friend.
