Never talked with, let alone met, Tom Morgan but I really like his ideas on fly rod design as opposed to the ever popular faster rods of the past 10-15 years. Now who will take his role?

Maybe I'm a bit weird but it seems Tom Morgan and his legacy isn't well known to the general public?
Obviously the fiberglass and Winston fans know his work.
