It is well documented in Cliff Netherton's books on the history of the sport of casting that Mr. Neu was a great casting champion. Although his books only show a partial list of casting competitions in the United States beginning at the turn of the twentieth century, some of Mr. Neu's accomplishments are plentiful. Legends are made up of many parts but for Mr. Neu it seemed he had in his lifetime acquired nearly all of them. His talent is without question but more importantly it is the respect of his peers, such as Theodore Roosevelt (Jr.), Herbert Hoover. Eugene Connett, also mentioned in a letter and from abroad the Honorable Secretary of the British Casting Association, C. Copley Singleton, who so warmly inscribes their 1937 Handbook to him. It is also the small monument that still stands in Stephens State Park in Hackettstown, NJ and erected in 1943 in his honor after his death in 1941 for what he gave back to the sport. He taught many the art of casting and his undying dedication to conservation. Legends shouldn't be only about their talent they are able to exhibit but how they made a difference with their status, for future generations to enjoy. Mr. Neu was without question a legend.
