Nope, he got cut along with a bunch of other people. He was in the wrong job there if you ask me. he was involved with marketing but should have been in Research and design. but unfortunately he is now gone.

Mr. Purcel was a class act back in the days when he was with Ebonite. He helped me out a bit in anyway that he could when I was with Ebonite in the late 90s.

I wish him the best of luck in the future.

He was very nice to me in my dealings with columbia when he was there. he even called me back a few times to see how things were doing. Easy to talk with.

I get even better customer service from storm now tho. Ernest at the tech dept is awesome.

I'll second the kudos for Ernie.  Very prompt with emails, too.

I guess when a company takes a "7 digit" hit somebody has to fall.

they should call the EPX curse

I had a couple of dealings with him while at Ebonite, did NOT really enjoy dealing with him.

 Was glad to see him go from Track/Columbia, and EXTREMELY glad to see Del is back at Track.

 Enjoy the people on the ballreview.com forum. Like to help when I can.

Real nice guys, Columbia's loss.

Columbia let a bunch of guys go and repositioned Del Warren head of Track.  What's the idea of Columbia letting go all the good guys?  Is Chuck Gardner still with Track?

Years ago they let Dave Smart go.. This EPX thing put guys out of jobs.
If the ball was't ready they should have waited, I guess if Brunswick, Ebonite and little Morich is ahead of you in the High Performance market you gotta through something on the wall and what they threw on the wall was not ready and cost them over 2-3 Million.

BP knows bowling but the higher ups had no cluse how to use his knowledge.  Given the opportunity and support from management, BP could of steered C300 in the right direction
