His name was Whitey Krueger, another guy that did TONS of stuff for MSBA. Used to make custom rods for the kids derby winners every year... I remember him when I was a kid there.... a real nice guy.
Had a wire line rod made by him.
PM me about the surf rod Joe, I would be interested in it, more for nostalgia than anything. Steve

I got to know a bit about Whitey Krueger this past year because of my son Leo who won the juniors derby last year, and the tradition started by Whitey Krueger of building a custom rod for the junior catching the largest bass of the year!
Aurthur Kaplan now carries on the tradition calling, it the
"Whitey Krueger memorial award"
