Ok who has the inside scoop here? I get the guy is leaving to work somewhere else, and he, at least, seems pretty impressed with his job performance. So why is his replacement a so called “turnaround specialist” with no apparent history or experience relating to SRC’s business? Anyone?

Strasburg is probably my favorite heritage line - very special. I’ve seen several changes that are a bit concerning so everytime leadership changes I worry it will get worse but I hope for the best.
