You are so welcome. I am so hhappy to see you are all pleased. I hope I've seen my last website that says my grandfather moved to Minnesota and then
Detroit by age 20. I'd put this on Wikipedia before the fables got on there but I can't get out of its sandbox!
This forum began as Clark's Classic Bamboo Rod Forum, founded by Clark Davis for all who share a passion for classic rods. The forum is now owned by Whitefish Press aka Dr. Todd Larson - banjo.

I would be happy to give you a hand publishing that information on Wikipedia. You can email me at scott.bearden (AT) gmail (DOT) com. The bamboo fly rod page
could use some help, and his name is already on there just itching for a page to link to.

He did tie flies for them and was known for his "spiders" (soft Hackles). He worked there the same time as Summers was selling boats, with some overlap. Bob S. has confirmed this. Tom claims he hung around on the weekends and whenever he could get free to learn rod building from your grandfather.

Anyone on wikipedia can use this photo I put up year(s) ago of PHY, Martha, and son Paul (my dad). I did mange to do one thing right in getting this to stick when I threw it at it. But I could not begin to get an article to go on. Tried a whole day. So I 've just played in my sandbox and it is not for the public's consumption (it is really bad) (me trying to learn how to do wikipedia is pretty bad.) I have this picture available up there for whoever wants to do PHY on wikipedia but I can't figure the darned thing out so all I have ever done in the public part is try to write a bit on PHY bro Ben Young, co-founder National Bank of Detroit, under "National Bank of Detroit." (added Paul's name to start a stub or whatever but could not handle the program) as I said my sandbox is really really bad just trying to learn stuff. You needn't go there-won't find anything but a learner.But I did get this picture up there all right! Oh and the gmail address did not work for me . (no I didn't write "dot" and all that ) (I'm slightly smarter than that.) |

Your father's photo looked as though it could use some digital modifications to fix the vertical skewing and bring back some approximation of the original
color. If you have original photo prints that can be scanned, then that would give a much better result; if not, then hopefully you will enjoy this attempt to
recapture some of the original appearance of his picture.
Quashnet's Paul H. Young Rod Database has photos and descriptions of 290 PHY Co. rods, plus catalogs, accessories,
etc. Thank you to all who continue to send me PHY rod photos and info.

Paul Young was an original: creative, industrious, and artist and engineer. He brought lightness and utility to fly rod design. The top three rod makers and
designers, in my opinion, were Leonard, Payne, and Young.

Since it was Bob Summers who sent me the email saying there was a guy named Tom saying he worked for my grandfather the same time he, Bob, did and he
didn't really. That all he did was come in once in a blue moon and sell flies to my grandfather, and that I should set the record straight and not let Tom
get away with it. Now when I wonder what Bob was up to I can only think of one thing someone so tricky could be up to. By having me say this dude and that dude
didn't work for Grandpa that others knew did, my saying that Bob never worked with rods with my grandfather alive would just be another crazy bitch
granddaughter tale. But it was my father, PHY's son, who worked for his dad in 50-60, who said when I told him what Bob was sayinng on here- that grandpa
put him on rods his first day-who emphatically said,"NO." Then"We weren't making them then.Bob never worked on rods while Dad was
alive." Lucky i have Bob's email and dad's videotaped assertion.I wouldn't have known, I was just a little girl trying to
 goodbye to
Daddy when he went to work without my ball and chain (my twin) pushing me down the basement stairs so he'd see her and not me. I don't know why I
obeyed Bob, maybe to show I was in his corner. He'd offered to take me out to eat on my birthday when no one else had. Of course I was 2000 miles away and
he knew I wouldn't make it. And of course when the response was"ask Summers," and Bob did not respond to the email telling him so, I was the
jerk. Thanks a lot, Bob. You ought to have your head examined.
