For sure, we all yearn for the good old days. As much as I hate to admit it, I am one of the “gray beards” these days telling these young guys what it was like to do drawings “on the board” back in the day. With a pencil. We - all of us - did great things back then. I get a lump in my throat when I watch an old Shuttle launch video because I lived the grind of making that happen on a daily basis.
All of these companies were great and full of great people who did crap no one had ever done before. That’s just what we did every day.
And it was fun.
My hat is off to all you guys.
