Hey Artie, how does the Gib Armstrong Casino sound? That's what it will be in about two to three years.

Yeah! There's probably other things we could name after Gib, like a section of really screwed up roadway or something. Other ideas? I'm sitting here LOL knowing he's restoring a biplane and the new ball team was named "The Barnstormers". Putting two and two together I have visions of Gib with the leather helmet, goggles and scarf flying through Jakey Wienerschnitzel's barn then putting it down on a nice flagstone runway in his backyard. An over-active imagination I know, but it would make a starting point for a political cartoon. So what are you going to do when you retire?

Sounds good, as long as S. Dale High gets at least equal billing.

After all, it was Dale High who strong-armed Armstrong into coughing up more and more and more and more and more and more and more taxpayer dollars for the "private" hotel.

His Chief of Staff, Chris Latta, is a jerk who doesn't return phone calls and e-mails.
I feel the same way about Latta. Smucker will have different staff, looks like Chris is out of a job.
