It seems the owners of Visionary might need to be more responsible citizens.

Someone refresh my memory: Visionary's plant was the old St. Louis plant Faball had, yes?

BL.

What a shame.  I was a huge fan of their stuff and Betsy was the best.  The fact that quite a few people lost jobs due to financial negligence is very disappointing.  Those people deserved better.

Yes Visionary balls were made at the Faball plant. Ironically, the Faball building burned about 2000. In 2003 the San Diego Ambassadorsto bowling visited Visionary and they were making bow ling balls in the basement of the Faball building after a fire burned the first floor quite extensively.
