Legacy - James Albert Decker (23)

Legacy - James Albert Decker (22)

As I have been working to get the files organized in the new house, I came across a piece of paper with Dad's printing on it. It is one of his favorite quotes:

The Society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither ts pipes nor its theories will hold water.

John W. Gardner
