    "Regret for things we did is tempered by time," McDonald said, his expression firm. "But regret for things we did not do is inconsolable."

    Thanks for sharing. He deserves our respect.

    RIP

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I knew vaguely about him but never read his book, guess that's another one for the reading list.
    That's why I love this forum, not just watches but all the other stuff that interests and informs me.

    Darn he was in that Netflix documentary about the O rings. Seemed like a solid human
