I’ve learned that optics is much more than frames and lenses. To me, there is a sacred aspect to it, and we are all responsible for the safekeeping of our occupation, and mostly, I have learned that when my time is up, I want to be able to say “present” when this industry does roll call. I love this industry more than I could have ever imagined, and I will always push with everything I have to be a part of it. — Paul Garcia, Caramel Lunettes, Colorado Springs, CO>
