Proud of Papa Buddy


Congratulations to Lynn Arbuckle, Dave Blair, and Marc Walker for receiving another patent. This one is for the Apex Audio router. http://www.grassvalley.com/products/routers/apex/ Even though it takes a half hour for him to explain to me what this does and the schematics cover pages, I am so proud of his accomplishments!

Here is some bits of wisdom that I've learned from dad regarding his work.
  • When you have a problem that seems unsurmountable sleep on it and give it a little time. Many times the answer will pop into your head after a good night's sleep.
  • He's a team player. You never see just his name on a patent. He's not in it for the glory. (whatever glory there is in router patents etc.) He's even turned down opportunities for management because that's not what he does best.
  • Balance. He works hard from 9 to 5 but then comes home and switches gears.
