I was doing some research into the claim that George Sullivan founded the company in 1958 What a bunch of baloney. Turns out that the facts are this, 1958 Robert and Mary Ann Stark formed the company and started making fiberglass pools. In 1968, Starks entered into a partnership with Ervin Parent and Edgar Harmon and continued making fiberglass pools. George Sullivan gets involved around 1975 some 17 years after. It is somewhat unclear on those details, but the notion that George Sullivan was the founder of San Juan Pools is an outright lie. Sullivan's first patent for a fiberglass pool was not until 1982. So for all those out there who thought The elder Sullivan was the pioneer, you are sadley mistaken
