I find myself thinking sometimes what a great alignment of the planets that all these good things are here at once. Then I remember, what has really happened was that hard work in the background and some excellent quality thinking came together with an appointment of someone with the same excellence of character that Kenny has, coupled with a younger mans appetite to oversee this glorious build, looking for all the little details that help LFC become better all the time, bit by bit.
I am very fond of what I once uncovered about an Italian climber/explorer who said “gradatim conscenditur ad alta” / “gradually conquer the heights”
This was the motto of Guido Monzino, whose life has been a continuous rise towards the supreme values of human existence. As a 27 year old in the 50’s he walked from Guinea to Senagal, along the Ivory Coast, a good 2000 miles even as the crow flies. He had already by then climbed the Matterhorn. Subsequently he made a total of 21 expeditions to places including Patagonia, Equatorial Africa, Greenland, the North Pole and the Himalayas. I feel alright about taking a long time to appreciate the work of Jurgen here, because Guido gave me permission in this phrase.
