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

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.
