My first encounter with Jack Puglisi was about 30 or 40 years ago. I was a young inexperienced shooter with a field worn 870 at a Duluth, Minnesota area sporting clays field. Jack was entertaining a well dressed prospective gun buyer. I was there by myself. As a stranger, Jack invited me to join his squad and treated me with the same courtesy and respect as his client. After our round, I cased my gun and walked to the clubhouse to pay for my round to find Mr. Puglisi had left after paying for my round as well.
I never forgot that generous gesture but I have visited the Puglisi store many times since. What a wonderful touch of class!
