I've read far too much dismissive commentary about Doug Field's departure from Ford. This is a better, pithier summary of his accomplishments + the context than I could have written. Read this one.

I've interviewed Alan Clarke + hope to meet him in person someday. Meanwhile ... (1 of 2)

Grateful for the kind remarks.

Two editors read past the Mark/Doug reference. So many of us are used to autocorrect in our brain. Mark Fields/Doug Field. The difference, of course, is that the company cheered one departure and mourns the other.

Accurately quoted the text and then I read right past it because I'm so used to people mixing up the names. Added a note of clarification. Grateful for your thoughtful note. Also, had to include Paul Blast because Segway is a major character in the film (I loved). Laughed so hard I cried.

Well, we paid $8 at the local theater on a matinee. There's also half-off Tuesdays and senior discounts. No need to do IMAX. Must see on theater screen.

The story has since been picked up by print and broadcast media in the U.S. and Canada. I am honored that Kevin Larson trusted me to tell his story.
