She's got the right stuff. From her Dad?

I always held the highest values, and acted accordingly, even in tough situations, +/- 1 dB, as they say, because nobody's perfect.

One boss of mine went pretty nonlinear, so I decided to quit. I did so on "Take your kid to work" day, showing her how to leave things in good order, and to enforce limits. In this case, on micromanagement.
