What I did today.

Dan,
You are right.  I didn't mean to any  way discredit the involvement in
the design that Kristen has had.  I know that you and her have worked
very closely on the design and was just referring to the act of
welding.  The both of you have done a wonderful job and I could only
hope to follow in your footsteps.

Congratulations,

Don
