I appreciate this, very  much.  But I will not fool myself nor my
colleagues that I didn't make mistakes in my early years.  Late
deliveries on custom gear.  Some of it was caused when my mother
became ill and passed away, but some of it was just my irresponsibly.
We all learn and I have but yeah, it continues.  And they pop their
heads up when we announce things, so their comments are right there
with any kudos we may also get. 

So yeah, I deserved some of it. But there are a few people around this
community, ex and current Plan B employees, friends, who've seen how
hard we've worked to clean the slate. Obsessively in fact. All the
manufacturers go through this. I'm not trying to throw roses in my
path. It's the part of the job they don't put in the brochure but it
takes you a while to get the clue and you make mistakes in the process
and I did. You don't come into this game knowing how to spin ten
plates, you learn as you go and some fall in the process.
