You were brave once
You saw that a process could change the shape of a material.
Thirty, forty years ago you understood something most people never do: that you could take a raw material and, through a physical process – drilling, melting, milling, foaming, molding – change its shape into something the world needed. Out of that single insight, you built a highly successful company. It created jobs. It powered the economy.
Then you chased the next order. Again, and again, and again. There was rarely time left to invent – but you didn't mind, because you were building. At heart, you were brave.
