Aero-News Quote of the Day

“My father mastered a unique trio of skills, being an exceptionally good mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and astute businessman. He set the bar high for himself and all to follow; supporting the pursuit of education as a means to achieve success. He taught us all not to shy away from obstacles or challenges, to be action oriented, and focus on achieving results. When I became President of the company, he handed me a commemorative plate with a picture of President Harry Truman, and one of his favorite quotes: The buck stops here!”
