[NY65912]

My work load has been handed off to 4 younger guys, who frankly don't know shinola about the biz or have the connections I have made through the years. We have been having strategy meetings to "streamline" the way I did purchasing and managing my area of the business. It ha become a frenzy of who is going to do what Mike did. They will be hiring someone when they can find an individual who has the niche type of experience I have. It is kind of fun watching the "bosses" scurry to figure out something we have been planning for 3 years. It's worth retiring to see the chaos. Sorry, but I told ya I was leaving!
