Fellow engineers,
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
For those who do not celebrate Christmas I wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year for 2009.
I am painfully aware that some of you, particularly the younger ones, may be facing hard times over the next several months. I hope and pray that these difficult times will be short lived. One small piece of advice I can offer is "Don't despair; even this shall pass if we persevere." Remember, tough times don't last; tough people do. Just don't give up!
My very best regards to all of you,
H. Daryl Richardson,
Calgary, Canada
