Madison Hardware Question

@CPF3 posted:

When Richard  Kughn  bought Madison Hardware and moved it to Michigan, the move required considerable time and effort, to say the least.  TM Books did a video piece on it.  A young man named Chuck Leibrock was the central person coordinating all activities.  

Does anyone know what became of him?

thanks!

Because it's a fairly uncommon name, a quick Google search brought up several links, the most recent of which is from 2020.

Found this article.  May answer a few questions.

I lived a few blocks from Madison Hardware.   I took the 2046 there to be repaired... bought my first issue of CTT (Kughn was on the cover) there.  I wasn't long thereafter when I saw 5 or 6 semis pull up and start loading... a sad day indeed.

He is retired, when Derek Thomas wrote the book on Madison Hardware, Chuck did not want to participate in the book. I only know this as i wrote one of the chapters and asked the same question. He just was not interested. Too bad, a lot of insider info there.

thank you.  Unfortunate but definitive.

His experiences with the Madison move must have been priceless.
