My Father-in-law...

Ryan and I are so proud of his father, Ed, for being chosen to fill the much noted position of President of Partech, Inc., in New Hartford, New York. His past accomplishments with other companies are what prompted Partech to pursue Ed and his expertise. We miss him already, but we couldn't be happier for him! He deserves all the recognition he is receiving!

I have included a portion of the press release that went out today regarding his appointment:
