Thanks Rich!

Have to look back a second before I look ahead…Rich Hammond taught me many things over the years…I knew Rich was talented…I knew Rich had impeccable journalistic integrity…he knew when to go after a story and when it wasn’t so important to chase something…but…I want to thank Rich for reinforcing the principle that HARD WORK goes a long way…sometimes we get caught up in many different things but forget about the fundamentals…Rich taught me that there is no substitute for HARD WORK.  Rich, good luck in your new endeavor, even though I know you don’t rely on luck!
