Welcome to the PGCA.

For the record, it was "Babe's" father, Larry DelGrego who was a Parker Brothers employee, he started working in Meriden and was one of the employee's who moved to Ilion. He started the shop "Larry DelGrego & Son" and apprenticed his son "Babe", Larry DelGrego Jr. who is now in his late 70's and his son Lawrence DelGrego III is now running the shop. Lawrence's sons also work in the shop.
I think some PGCA members would be wise to sit down with Babe and document his recollections because some day those memories will also be lost.
