Peter Lehmann saved the growers, and Robert O'Callaghan stood in front of the bulldozers waiting to pull out the old vines. To keep the growers in business, Lehmann bought their fruit, made it into wine, and told the growers they would be paid when the wines were sold. It might have taken him three years, but the growers got paid.

I understand the dilemma and the risks I'm asking you to take. I'm asking you to support me and to allow me to run this office for one year the way I can maintain morale and keep two qualified people working. I can do that and meet your budgetary requirements, ... I can never do that and keep the courthouse happy. I don't try to do that. I've not tried that for 20 years. That's going to be impossible for me to do. I don't worry about anybody but my staff nor do I come in here and complain about what somebody else is getting. If you want to pay the folks in the clerk's office 60,000, I don't care. I'm talking about one person here and trying to sustain it for one year.

It's a whole new ballgame building an IP network for hundreds of stores that needs to function even if a broadband connection is lost, and has to protect private customer and business information, not to mention facilitate the business of managing the entire network.

The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine.

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been put up to a critic.
