Respert loses a few hundred shares, though I'm not sure to whom. I'm of the backpack generation, and to this day still spurn luggage on wheels -- if God wanted a suitcase to have wheels, he would have made it a trolleycar . Wheels were first put on luggage by an airline pilot in 1987. Beyond that the only thing I know about luggage is that the Samsonite bag was not invented by Samson but by the Shwayder Brothers, from Colorado. One of the early Shwayder Samsonites was called the Streamlite. I don't know why I know that, and I would prefer not to.
