    I was wondering if any one noticed this from the story:

    "Murray was ever the optimist and kept on his desk a quotation, "Difficulties are opportunities," his son Rick Murray said."

    Yes that is a really good theory alright, Kim.

    Sometimes especially people like me that are RUT-Phobic - (I love that there is 'nothing constant except change') We need some chaos to get thinking and performing up to par if we are growing bored and complacent.

    A mistake can even be an opportunity - The way that we follow through and resolve an issue can wow the customer and create loyalty - more so than just a same-old-same-old wrinkle-free transaction. They will remember you stepped up, not so much that you made a mistake.

    It's a shame when people of lightness decide to go elsewhere. His longevity is a testimony that he knew what it takes to be healthy and happy though. The other side just got another real prize.

    RIP Dr - thank you for being here and guiding us for awhile.
