Brilliant. Thanks for this. I never met Andy but have had the privilege of working with many leaders that he helped create and inspire. As you may recall, my first gig after returning from my own Hungarian story was at EMC. Dick "The E" Egan was still the chairman at the time, having founded the company after working for Andy. When I met Dick during my very first week as the company's new entry-level PR specialist (EMC was still that small) and he heard about me teaching in Hungary, EMC's founder immediately brought up his old mentor, Andy Grove. Years later Andy's former PR person Pam P, who, knowing Pam, I'm guessing was the one that didn't appreciate the Oompah Loompa reference and threatened a lynching, hired me into Autodesk. These two, yourself, and so many more have shared such wonderful stories about Mr. Grove. The world does indeed need leaders like him right now. More than ever. Thanks again Kevin.
