I am very disappointed to see him leave because he's done a tremendous job. He has put in place the right people to carry forward the strategic initiatives though, so I don't think it will have an impact on spring business.

I think it is a very good choice, not only for what Ernie has done, but also because it puts internal management in place and keeps Wyatt's strategic vision in place. He knows the business very well, and a lot of the improvements that have been made are to Ernie's credit.
