I began working on it in the early Seventies. It never occurred to me then that I'd still be working on it 30 years later.

 The real damage to the company is that we had historically been an innovative company, bringing out products that have unique features, ...

 I know John Kerry well, ... I spent six years working with him in the Senate, and we spent a lot of time on the campaign trail together. And I'll tell you one thing: He has what it takes inside to be president of the United States -- backbone, strength, courage, heart.

 Both sides came here with a real sense that they wanted to reach an agreement, ... They have spent a lot of time together, they have spent very little time sleeping. There are 52 years of debate behind them, so the atmosphere, at times, has been tense, but they are still working at it.

 Essentially, we've been neighbors for thirty years but there really hasn't been a very direct connection with Sweetwater. So the mayor sees the economic advantages of creating an environment such as a college town, because it would bring students and faculty a lot of activity that would be very positive towards them.

 I was the oldest guy in the field by some 15-years and probably the smallest. There was teasing going on because some of my opponents were these big bruisers. I never would have expected this when I first started. When I told people that I had been playing for only three years, no one could believe it. But you don't get here without a lot of help. I couldn't have done it without a lot of support. I spent a lot of time going to the park when no one was around and worked on my game.

 Tires were a constant problem, which was a direct result of the roads, ... They spent a lot of time trying to pull themselves out of what they called 'buffalo wallows,' soft patches of ground that turned into bogs when it was wet. ... They spent some time getting stuck in streams they tried to ford, there not being many bridges to use ... and they spent a lot of time in blacksmith's shops to get them fixed, or waiting for replacement parts from the Winton factory in Cleveland.
