End of an era

22nd July 1983 to 6th April 2010 - almost 27 years, exactly 9,755 days, lots of water under lots of bridges, lots of memories of lots of friends, and finally a few just held back tears, but in the end probably hung around a couple of years too long as the company attempted to transform itself from a successful and friendly child car seat manufacturer into an efficient investment of a global private equity firm.
