In loving memory of our friend Claire Goodhue

We started TG Publishing in California in August, 2001. Coming off of the worst breakdown in the tech sector; we were suffering from the hangover of the Internet Bubble bursting, and we had very little idea how the company was going to survive and whether we could keep the team intact. It was a very difficult time.

In those early days, one person went out of her way to help us more than anyone else. Her name was Claire Goodhue. She never worked for the company nor did she ever ask for anything, other than that I buy her lunch whenever I was in San Francisco and I had the chance. I asked her to work for me, but she couldn't. She had been diagnosed with colon cancer, and although hopeful of the outcome, she needed to stay at her job and rely on its security. She recommended Stephanie Dale, and I hired her, sight unseen. I had never done anything like that before. Best thing I ever did.
