A sponsor is more than a great product, it's involvement when his product is the topic for discussion as well as other areas in which he may be well versed.
Howard Keiper is just such a person. When I had a small issue, (more of a question) with my plotter, he called me and walked me through it's simple resolution. Then he suggested I try something else, and call him with a progress report!
Happy Retirement Howard, go fishing, spend time with the grandkids, and do some traveling. Graphtec will miss you. Don't be a stanger.

I just bought a Graphtec and part of that decision was your involvement here. Hopefully they can find someone to fill your shoes. A lot of reps could learn from the knowledge, willingness to help & involvement you've shown here.

Our first Graphtec plotter is being installed on Friday. I like buying from familiar faces and the Merchants here are just that. Have a great retirement Howard.

Howard - it has been an absolute pleasure knowing you for the last few years. You have been a wealth of knowledge for me in getting to know plotters. I'll miss you on the trade show circuit.
Enjoy your retirement, you've earned it!
-------------------- Make it a great day!

WoW! I sure hope they find somoene at least half as knowledgable as Howard was or im going to have to buy myself a different brand of machine. Howard was definitely a face I was glad to see on here many times when someones problem was related to a graphtec plotter, Howards helpful answers reinforced my decision to buy such a reliable machine.
Have fun and enjoy your retirement Howard, and youll surely be missed by many of us here in Letterville.
