    oh, that's the slide rule version of the system syzer with gil carlson's autograph.

    Hi @mattmia2 , I think it is something Gil gave to Dan, and there is a story behind it, which I'm not finding with a quick search. It's a framed piece of genius that Dan told a story about a while ago.

    Yours, Larry

    Thank you all. I am honored and humbled to be the recipient of the 2025 Carlson-Holohan award. I can never repay the debt I owe to Dan Holohan, Robert Bean and all of the previous award winners who have done so much for me since I entered this great industry almost 40 years ago.

    I will do my part to carry on the legacy of this award.

    Thanks @hot_rod, Here's the link: The auctioning off of things Dan had, might have been the time he created an auction to benefit my wife, who had suffered a major stroke. Later I was able to get her to Wetstock to thank the Holohans. It's a big family we're in. 💖

    Yours, Larry

    When he retired, Gill gave the cardboard version of his System Syzer to Jim Hope, who was running B&G at the time. Jim gave it to me.

    Retired and loving it.
