THe company that bought Penn a few years ago was an investment company, right? The type that buys a company to polish back up for future sale?

The guy who bought, and now sold, Penn was last name Henry, first name I think is #^&#^&#^&#^& but don't quote me on that. He and another fellow from the West Coast bought it, for business reasons of course, but Henry is also an avid sportsman. He used to own "Henry's", the fishing tackle distributor out of Morehead City, South Carolina, and sold it to "Big Rock Sports", a super duper hunting/fishing USA wide distributor. He currently owns Sea Striker, also out of South Carolina I believe, which makes a wide variety of fishing equipment - rods and accessories mostly.
