As one of the designers of the T-Shirt (along with Randy Stewart and Peter 
Lei): thanks! I agree. It is the one that I see most often now at meetings. 
There is some pride with that effort, not only that is prevails with folks 
wearing it, but that we actually did it and gave folks choices of colors 
and such.

he was sweating - but making money all the way, so he didn't mind at all.
