Dan Peek Author of "To The Point: The Story of Darts in America"  was at the Rae Chesney Tournament January 2002. I was able to get a picture of him with Frank Ennis. We talked for a while and I asked him if he would be interested in providing any articles for my website. He mentioned he wrote about 1000 pages for the book, but the book was edited down to 308 pages, therefore he had extra articles about Philadelphia Darts and shooters!

 We worked out a deal and he will be allowing me to publish some of his work here on PhillyDarts. I've created a link so you can check out his book and order it online. Please support him and his efforts to document stories and history of darts. He will amended the book in 2005.
