…and thank you, too, Steve.
Not just for buying the Jeep that maybe helped to catalyze some ideas in the Master Tinkerer’s mind. I selfishly thank you for being the conduit that has allowed me to witness all kinds of really cool stuff by association. Sometimes it really is “better to be lucky than good…” ;-)
I still remember that crazy little RC vehicle your dad was driving around on your driveway - a proto-type stage of what was to become Sojourner...and being with you and your family in the auditorium as the first telemetry was being broadcast live from the control room as the second generation of your dad’s robots touched down on another planet. That was truly one of the awe-filled moments of my life.

If you haven't done it lately thank your dad for me on behalf of all the human race that will eventually live their lives off the planet earth.
Thank your dad for the dreams floating around in my son's head.
