Allen as others have suggested would you consider an "exit" interview with Jerry?
I personally believe Lionel has some kind of special blessing it seems that when it's in BIG trouble someone comes in to help it out, i.e. Richard Kuhn, etc.
I was getting back into the hobby as a result of the urging of my young sons, one who is now 11 when Jerry was President and it all started for me with the release of the "El Capitan" set. It brought back memories as my Dad was a railfan and we rode on one of the last trips from Chicago to California I was a little guy but I still have vivid memories of that trip.
As a medical resident I got to relive that memory again as there was a Dinner Train operating out of Indianapolis that was made up of the El Capitan and a drug company took us out on an excursion ride.
Anyway I like how Lionel has under the direction Jerry C. risen from near ashes to take its place as one of the premier electric train companies again.
I hope he accepts your offer if you so feel compelled and would look very forward to reading the interview in OGR
Thank you Jerry
Best wishes always!!!
