  1. Terry,

    I have never met Mr. Becker, but my take on his photo is this; A warm, kind, and compassionate man who loves his family, work and life.

    He strikes me as man of exceptional organizational ability. A clear thinker, and keep it simple.

    I am sure NAPP has a jewel in its midst. I would guess he is the “great balance” at NAPP. His wisdom had saved NAPP a lot of headaches.

    Regardless, nice post and liking your Friday tech thing.

    Kind days for you and your family

  2. Hey Larry

    We’re all waiting over here in London to give you and the rest of the NAPP team a big welcome.

    Oops – was that a hint?

    You’re the glue that holds NAPP together!

    Cheers

    Richard
