alinwa!
You know Butch, I can think of one Washington "family" who would be great to run this business.
Gig Harbor (Seattle) is probably too far from alinwa & his kin, but if he & Russ could just work out a kind of "transfer," both might benefit. And Al would be a worthy next owner. I've done business with Russ off & on for 25 years & he's so pleasant to work with I don't imagine he's lost very many customers over the years -- just gotten new ones.
