Episode #105 - Radio Roscado Completo
Mention golf, fine tequilla and multilobular screwheads during the same conversation, and you must be speaking of predominantly fastener-related talk radio. A case in point, this edition features the riveting Ms. Rosa Hearn, of Brighton Best International, who is headed to Fastener Fair Mexico, and provides translation services along the way (1:06:57). Pac-West board member, Clay Weaver, shares results of this year's Mel Kirsner Memorial golf tournament (34:37). If you remember when team Porteous dominated this event, you don't want to miss this report. Plus, the lovely and talented Lynn Dempsey interviews NCFA Distributor Social attendees, who comment on the annual gala, as well as the future of the Vegas fastener show, Larry Kelly, Cris Young, Kristen Kessler and more (10:01). The Fastener Distributor Index showed signs of improvement in April, as fastener newsman Mike McNulty and BB&T analyst Charles Redding explain during the Fastener News Report (42:38). And fastener industry consultant, Carmen Vertullo, reports from the ASTM F16 technical meeting in San Antonio (1:1:34). Hosts Brian and Eric do their best to provide bilingual commentary as they review the state of the fastener industry from their view, while enjoying some chilli with meat, con carne. Run time: 01:40:17
