Exactly four years ago today I gave a talk at the Beckett Industry Summit. This is an abridgment, but it's interesting to consider what has changed and what hasn't in the past four years, especially in this last dramatic year.

Bob and I fondly reminisce about Louise Bird, a remarkable voice within our former company as well as the hobby at large, through her impact both in our offices and on the road.
