[Healeys] Mistakes on Calendars

[Bob Spidell]

NOW I get it ... we have mistakes in the calendar to show hand-craftsmanship, humility and that only DMH was perfect. 

The calendar is excellent, idiosyncrasies and all, and elicits many favorable comments as it resides on my cubicle wall. The AOPA calendar next to it is artful as well, but--as much as I like airplanes--it doesn't have the panache of the Healey calendar.

Gary-- 

How very spiritual! Some years ago I was buying a large oriental rug and 
in examining it I noticed a flaw in the weaving. When I brought this to 
the attention of the seller he explained that such an error was no doubt 
done intentionally by the weaver to show humility and to demonstrate that 
only the Allah is perfect. 

Best to all for the holidays--Michael Oritt
