Community Letter from Tim – Apple

\n

\n This is not goodbye. But at this moment of transition, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. Not on behalf of the company, this time, though there is a wellspring of gratitude for you that overflows inside our walls. But simply on behalf of me. Tim. A person who grew up in a rural place in a different time and, for these magical moments, got to be the CEO of the greatest company in the world.\n

Big news at Apple.

@davoh She has. Plus, my Mom is an actress, director, theater professor, and civil rights activist so she has a role model for the kind of career one can build with such things.

As well, my wife’s bachelor’s degree is actually in Theater.

All of this is to say she has a lot of examples and experiences (and support) to draw from on the path to building her own life.
