Rick, How did you get interested in this company?
Hokie,
I had heard about the company over the years from my father, who would talk about his uncle who worked there and a building somewhere in Cambridge Mass. He knew very little about the company and it got my curiosity going. I had been researching my mother's side of the family and he asked why I wasn't looking into his side of the family. So I did and I started to find a lot of info online. He passed on shortly after I started researching but I did get to show him a picture of his great grandfather that he had never seen. I don't know where the "old" family pictures went to. Well, Ashton Valve has become an obsession of sorts over the last 4 years. I've had a great time doing it and have met some wonderfully supportive people in museums, etc. It's been fun! I've also accumulated a nice collection of Ashton products (gages, etc, color pictures used on posts) and catalogs where that I get most of the pictures I use on this forum.
