Well the Williams lures (Wobblers etc) were actually all being made in the 'Williams Gold refining company' - they actually gold and silver plated their lures in Fort Eerie plant back in those days (late '80s) ... and the assembly work was actually being farmed out to local ladies (to put the split rings and treble hooks on ... white bucket brigade cottage industry ... not sure how they do it today but I see no reason for them to change .. it was really working well and was profitable for them... loved that company ! In fact I'll never forget an incident with Dick Dimberio (who apparantly bought the Gold refining company when Brecks bought the lure company) ... Dick had organized a day on his boat with a writer from Ontario Out Of Doors magazine so they could do a feature article on the newly patented yet to be released 'DEEKER' ... my wife was actually DUE with our first child on that very day ... so of course I declined the offer ... Dick said "Jon, young fella - you have a lot to learn. You need to start em off like you want em to finish, and besides they never have them when they say they are going to. I'll meet you at the boat at 5:00am sharp don't be late." ... I went (with the blessing of my wife) and we caught 8 fish on the deeker/williams mooselook combo to 3 fish on all other lures combined (mostly Lure-Jensen dodger fly type combos)... big fish was on the DEEKER/Fly combo ... But I have no idea if they still manufacture in Fort Eerie or if they moved elsewhere.

Oh trust me .. it was definitely the Falcon's nest ... (I went to L'Am so I am familiar with that neck of the woods) ... and she was Definitely an EASTERN C-O-U-G-A-R ! But I escaped (narrowly) At least that's my story and I'm stickin to it

Brecks bought Williams about 20 years ago ... JUST after we signed gajillion dollar deal for the patented http://www.google.com.tw/patents?id=mdk4AAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4&source=gbs_overview_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false - "DEEKER" tm ... it was developed right here in Scarborough (in my living room) But you won't find it on any shelves (never quite got there)... Brecks wasn't interested in producing them (maybe the royalty agreement was too rich) not sure ... and not sure what they did with all the 50,000 units they had just produced - but to their credit they did offer to let me out of the contract if I bought all the stock from them...

Against frying up half a pound of bacon .. and then frying up a mess of sausage rolls in the bacon fat ... gotta love them ladies symphony nights ... good thing they dont happen too often or the 'ol pipes would surely clog up a little too early Hmmmmmm .. even on full blast I dont think the fan will be able to dissipate the evidence ... jeeze I MUST be getting old ..

If you have ever actually read the itunes agreement ... or the developers agreement you would know why Mr. Jobs can NEVER be allowed to become the only choice.... good stuff ?? yes normally (if they manage to get along with the other players) ... but make no mistake... they OWN your system and they get paid for EVERYTHING you buy for it and everything you try to do on it. By the way I run ESET NOD32 and Sunbelt Counterspy with excellent results on several devices.

Fair lady ! Broke a few hearts too I understand
