You wear your heart on your sleeve...plain and simple.

BP the instruments your company builds are what bring us to this forum in the first place. It's stories like that that make us stay.

Thanks, BP. When it gets off your chest, you feel lighter

Sterling,

Unfortunately, not everyone who joins this forum will have the chance to meet you in person. If they did, they would know in an instant that while you may be the Silver Bear, you are not a Silver Spoon.

If you feel compelled to tell your story, we all like hearing it. But I'd still defend you against the idiocy of the forum trolls if you didn't. The fact that you make time to hang out here with your customers, enthusiasts, friends and even detractors speaks volumes about who you are.

It's a shame that you've taken hits on the family front in the course of ensuring the long-term success of what your father began, but your passion left you little choice. I'm glad that the business is a great success and that some of the sibs have come around. Keep doing what you love, for your sake and ours.

Happy Holidays to you and the family.

I mean it seriously when I say that I'll do anything to help the Ball family. Too few like you in the world.

Good reading BP.

[bassmonkey]

You've had a full and interesting life BP. Thanks for sharing this post with us.

It is obvious that you have touched so many lives with your kindness and generosity. My only hope is that I could achieve a fraction of what you have with my life.

BP, you posted it because tis the season. I can understand where you are coming from with this, I knew at a very young age what I wanted to do and my mother nurtured that in me. I love going to work every day and enjoy every single day. The business I got into wasn't a family business, but I love doing it.

Thanx for the read, it's much appreciated. It's always good to know big business remember and values family, because in the end that's all that really matters is family.
