Let's hope that one or more of Rob's children show an interest in, and

One can only hope.
But it's been my experience that successful businessmen often have
children who are far more interested in the money than the business.


I dunno. Most often the ones I've seen, in the very few family run and
owned businesses I've seen, simply have children who have no interest
in the business. In one particular case, I don't believe it was money.
All the children were successful on their own, but simply did not wish
to be in the manufacturing business. The father had to sell out to a
much larger company because of a lack of smaller, family-oriented
buyers.
