I’ve had the good fortune of working with a lot of great people over the course of my career. One of them is Brian Jones, a print sales rep I’ve known for more than 30 years. Brian just retired as sales manager at Lawton Printing. An official celebration was held in his honor last Thursday, when the photo at top was taken (L to R: Darin Klündt, Brian, and John Mraz).

The photo below, on the other hand, was taken way back in March of 1986. That’s me, at right, pointing out several flaws during a press check. You know—just another designer making life miserable for the printer.

Thank you, Brian, for all the support you’ve provided me on countless projects during your long and distinguished career. And for all the crazy press checks you’ve endured. (Not just mine, either. You know who I’m talkin’ about.)
