CTR ring designer Douglas Miles dies

Choose the Republican

What a legacy left! My children love their CTR rings and I still do too. My condolences to the family.

Did this man truly design the CTR ring? I am positive that not too long ago, there was an article in this very paper about the "LADY" who designed the CTR logo. If a lady designed it, then how come this man is now getting the credit for it? So, how can this be? Anybody else remember this?

I'm guessing there were several people who helped to create the CTR ring: The Marketing director, design team director, the manufacturing team that created the ring molds, and of course, the actual designer(s) that drew up the plans. In my experience, it's usually the directors who get the credit. There isn't much credit left to give after you've peeled away all the layers--unless of course, the project fails. Then all fingers point directly at the person at the bottom. Ah politics. But I'm going to give this article the benefit of my doubts out of respect.
