Here are a couple of thoughts from a regular life long fan. It is sad and disappointing that Bob K didn't take any lessons from the absolute class act Mr. Ward demonstrated at all times. Bob was around that every day and chose not to learn from the great one. The other thing is this: I too was not really good at my chosen profession when I was 26 years old.......but I kept at it, kept learning, rigidly self critiqued my work, and finally I think I evolved to be pretty decent at what I do (and get feedback reflecting this). No shame that he was awful when he began (shame on the powers that anointed him). The shocker is how he sat back and coasted it seems from Day 1 without any apparent growth into a better product. Now that is shocking. No one could have replaced JWard, but to not grow or improve at all over all these years? Unforgivable. It surely will be time for him to retire soon. I hope we do better.
