Is Chaz leaving?

 

Rusty's doing a little something different this month.

First prize is a Cadillac convertible.
Second prize, a set of steak knives.
Third prize? You're fired.

 

Go to lunch. Will you just Go. To. Lunch?

 

This got such tremendous response and readership it needs to be bumped back to the top. Yes, Chaz is leaving.
We need a replacement by August. I need to hear from candidates much sooner than that. E-mail me if you need more information.

 

If you wouldn't mind, where is good ole Chaz off to?

 

Chaz is going back to school. He's also doing the Nashville Marathon on Saturday.

 

This is a tremendous place to work with a great reputation. And yes, Rusty is, apparently, the best.

 

Bumping back to the top.
This position will be open in August but I need to move on it now. Let me know if you're interested.
