Hi Ron,

I love your postings on your JKE and it brings back some fantastic memories from my experience. Brad does an outstanding job. This experience will certainly help forever change your understanding of lean. Did you get a chance to participate in the 3S at HOKS? Your passion for lean and continuous improvement is felt in your writing. Keep up the great work and have a safe trip home!
