When I went to see him the other night, he tied a few teasers for me. The guy is almost 80, yet watching his hands was like watching poetry in motion. It was if each movement had been done thousands of times before, he was like a well-oiled machine.

He was so quick it was difficult to keep up with him as I took the pics. He told me he used to give classes and seminars on tying flies and teasers. He taught the Chief of Police in Bricktown NJ (in the 1980's) at one of his classes, among many others who learned from him.

Tony isn't in a position to do seminars like he used to, it would probably take too much out of him. I thought I would put these pics up so beginners just learning would be able to look at some of the pics and not feel so intimidated.
