As of yesterday, Mr. Vern McGee & I are no longer working together, for "The GREAT Break Shot Company (i.e., the BreakRAK). I think Mr Vern Mcgee will become the new owner & I will just be part of the BreakRAK's history. It's been fun, Good Luck to all of you. It was a good 25 year run. I'm 83 & tired of working all the time.

I was a Tooling Engineer for the BOEING Co, for about 30 years, I worked on the 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, the Space Shuttle & started when the Saturn 5 was the launch vehicle. I designed little Machine Tools & Major Assembly Tools... all over America, but Mostly Seattle.. When I Retired, I was designing Major Assembly Tooling on a Computer....

The state of tooling engineering in the US is in dire need. Watch this video starting at 28 minutes, but also watch the whole thing because it is interesting. It is very difficult to manufacture in entirety here.


By the way I ended up buying the smarter scrubber to support him, and it is indeed a high quality product.

I think we're screwed as a nation if we can't do the intelligent work
of tool and die, making the tools that make the things. It used to be that America did the smart thing,
and then we would send the machine that we made to another country, and the country would operate the machine in the developing world.
We have flipped it. We are now to the point where the smart stuff is done somewhere else,
and they send us the machines, and we push the buttons to operate the machines.
I need you to understand this because I realize we have lost something very, very important, and we did it
by lulling ourselves to sleep, by pushing money around and doing the intellectual property work, but not doing the manufacturing work.

Good luck with the next chapter in your life. Seems to me that you've earned a little free time.

It was a great run & I met so many folks in the Pool World. I've seen many go from good to "HARD TO BEAT" with my invention. I played Pool since I was 14, but Snooker caught my interest for 20 years. One day, I entered the Pool Room & the Snooker table was GONE. The owner said, "What do you care, I've seen you run a hundred points, many times, Pool will be easy for you. While some of that statement may have some truth to it, If you don't do well with the Break Shot, it ain't your shot. If it ain't your shot, your run out ability is not a threat. In Snooker, the break shot is a safety play. In POOL it is an "In your face Offensive Shot". After a few months of that "losing syndrome", I put my thinking cap on, to design a way to practice the Break Shot, without racking balls.... Voila!.. we have a BreakRAK... the rest is history.... Pool is a great Game & there many, many great players, just about anyplace you go....
