I have been absorbing all this for two days now, and not much is left to do but to see how this all plays out. A few observations:
1. Best of luck to Mr. Wolf for a long and healthy retirement; he has earned it.
2.Mr. Wolf ranks up there right behind Josh Cowen in impact on this hobby, along with a number of others, including Louis Marx, Maury Klein, Gebruder Bingen, Jerry Williams, a couple of the senior guys at Fundimensions / MPC , Dick Kughn, Neil Young, and a few others I can't remember right now.
3. All things must pass. Life is change. Nothing is static.
4. I don't expect a "White Knight" to buy MTH lock, stock and barrel. Surprise me.
5. Menards is an unlikely suitor; it has a business plan that works for it, and when John Menard (bless him) isn't as involved, its train stuff may be of less importance to its Board of Directors in any event. Surprise me.
6. I don't know " 'nuthin about 'nuthin", when you get right down to it.
