Well its happened. I received e-mail yesterday that said that Charlie Wolk had sold out to Don Markus. Finding this hard to believe today I conformed this with Norm when I phoned in a parts order. Just thought you'd all want to know.

What's this going to mean for those of us who need parts for older equipment?
Are those parts suddenly going to be "Unavailable" or is the price going to go sky high or what?
Let's not forget how many of us run with old equipment out here in the field. Don't forget those trusted Super Simplexes, E-7's, Motiographs, Brenkerts, Peerless Magnarcs, Strong Moguls, etc.

Charlie's a good guy, and he's probably ready for retirement. He's sure deserves it!

BTW, who's Don Markus?

According to Norm, Charlie will continue to be there inbetween around the world tours.

Charlie Wolk retire before he gets his hands on Bud Orton's secret stash of parts in his warehouse.....unheard of. Thanks for the kindness you've shown me through the years at the shows. It certainly was your pleasure to be sure. See you at the shows.
Didn't you introduce Don as your Bodygaurd?
