I've heard that Bert’s shop is for sale, however, I've been working with Bert’s wife Pat and Doug Ketchum, Doug has been wonderful to work with and does tremendous work! I just received the conversion cue and a sneaky last week, I'm not sure how many more cues will be coming out of Bert’s shop. It'll be a big loss to the pool community when the shop shuts down.
Pat says Bert is doing well and is getting stronger every day and still spends time in the shop.
I wish Bert, Pat and Doug all the best, and am proud to own several "By Schrager"'s and think they are truly part of pool's wonderful history!
