Keep on truckin’

It’s been a while.  Some 30 years ago, we started a small trucking company. One that grew into one of the larger private carriers in the Commonwealth.   It wasn’t what we started out to do; no, we were really running a small medical device manufacturer.  But, our customers wanted just-in-time delivery (sometimes just-in-breath delivery) and most of them had no loading docks and no warehouse crew.  If we wanted their business, we needed to deliver to their clinics, arrange their stock, etc.

One of the leading causes of death is still heart failure.  Which is why improvements in heart transplantation and the development of an artificial heart have been high on the “to do” list for years.  How many?  Since at least when I began working on my artificial kidney about four decades ago.

I can’t recall when I first met George Gilder.  The years and meetings blend together after a while.  But, whether it was when we first made the Inc. 500 (the first two years of the program’s existence) or at one of the first Arthur Young’s Entrepreneur Conferences, it makes no real difference.  It’s been some 35 years, at least.
