Cooke Vacuum wishes all our friends a big fat plenum for the new year. Ok, a weak wordplay, the antonym of vacuum, but a nice word, barely-used and low mileage.
What do we hope for in the coming months? A lot less war, first and foremost. A lot less religion applied as a weapon. Much more attention to improving the lot of man on the planet. A return to the vital role of science and technology in solving the problems of science and technology. Restoration of faith in society, government, civilization.
Much more specifically, we hope that your kids can find careers like yours, have valid reasons for exploring the wonder of the physical world, touch, measure, design, invent and create. Even get their hands dirty. We hope that national funding for science catches up with the reality of a global economy. We hope that curiosity and altruism edge out placidity and greed. We hope that the work that we do pleases us, and helps others. And at Cooke, we hope that you continue to challenge us to build the furniture of understanding.
Best wishes, now and always,
Richard and everyone
