Default Frank Bowman's Retirement

With Frank Bowman's retirement, is anyone going to continue the piston ring production as Frank did? Dan.

I appreciate the situation, but what am I going to do with all the project engines I have lying around that need rings??

BCCHI, He has a wealth of knowledge and equipment that he could pass on to some else like you did for Adrian. The whole hobby including him would benefit from it. Dan.

Dan, maybe Frank would entertain a visit from someone regarding the subject if the visitor was very diplomatic and understanding of the subject and Frank's personal dedication to quality.

While my personal situation is completely unrelated, when I retired, I just walked away and never looked back. I vowed I would never work in my career field again even on a limited basis. As a result, I understand completely where Frank is coming from. It is difficult if not impossible to find someone with one's own personal convictions to quality and dedication ..... so why try. Its good to look back on the good times and move forward into a new, completely different chapter in life.
