October 21, 2016 at 2:40 pmWell–I’ve known Tony Cibel since he was kid in Newton Center, Massachusetts–I’m five years older than he is. Tony is a true character, and a self made man who did it the hard way. Never have I known another guy like Tony–great friend–full of energy and always ready to roll. I could write a book about Tony–it would be a best seller! Wonderful interview–wonderful guy!!
