My name is Ron Peterson, so enjoyed your chat with Ron Gustafson! I had the pleasure of working with him at Quassy Amusement
Park for almost 7 years! He is probably one of the best PR guys you will ever meet! I was there on the maintenance crew during the he building of the Wooden Warrior warrior where the park crew provided labor for te build, Ron Gustafson is the consummate professional! Great guy to work with, and oh, so knowledgeable! Great interview guys!
