Go to the MSBA site and look up the historian...John Cherico..I believe he has an e/mail addy that is listed there also..

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"
