  Robert Louis Howell wrote: It should be noted that Marconi’s Georgia tour in 1969 was not a very auspicious one in terms of victories but he put over a lot talent and enhanced many cards state wide as a carpenter of sorts. He drummed up the action and Mario Galento and Robert Fuller at very different points in there careers owed him something.
