While rereading 25 Years of Buell, one paragraph jumped out at me. I hope Court doesn't mind me posting this.

From the chapter titled "The Future"

"The challenges have changed over the years. In the early days, convincing a small businessman to take a chance on supplying parts to what seemed like a mad scheme was a weekly occurrence. Skimping to make payroll was a normal operating procedure. Just getting enough heat so you could work in the barn was often a challenge. Now the challenges are met in a corporate boardroom or on product planning and marketing committees."

We, we know how the challenge for this part of the story ended in the corporate boardroom...

Anyhow, I found that paragraph very astute based on the current events.

Its a struggle worth undertaking.

Its all a struggle worth undertaking.

It has always been about a struggle worth undertaking.

There will always be a struggle that is worth undertaking after the struggle that was worth undertaking is no longer a struggle that is worth undertaking.

After the struggle that is worth undertaking is completed it will seem small in comparison to the struggle that is worth undertaking that presents itself next.

Swampy, you must work in the Dept. of Redundancy department. (sorry, Slaughter, I couldn't help myself)

Look at page 13 (I think, as my copy is not available to me at this time). The Buell values are what I'm referring to.
