Today, I had, like, a 2 hour long meeting with an old leather guy - whos been participating every bit of the way since the late 70s - He has known my father since like my father was 25 - a pretty busy guy he is - and is probably the leading nationwide distributor of the leading MNC in the Leather business.

He spent the better part of an hour telling me stuff about my dad from a perspective that even i havent been aware of all along - and the kind of contributions, ethics and trade practices hes always stood for. He spoke on my cell with my dad back home for a few minutes saying hello - then on the way out - patted me on the head, told me to be in touch if i wanted any information or help and told me (something i kinda know all along -) that i have large shoes to fill :)
