It's Gannett, so expect to regularly spend some time on the phone with some poor drone at the Phoenix design center. :

 

Scott's a good guy.

 

I'll vouch for Scott and Jesse Geleysne as great guys as well. That paper has seen a lot of whittling down (haven't we all), but the structure to do solid work is there.
