I was wondering if any of the Wonderland Marine guys have more information on this??

That's too bad.

I have met a few of the guys from Stratos, they seem to run a really good company.  It's kind of odd though that three of them resigned at the same time.

thats what i thought..odd, although Stratos/Champion said they were completely suprised, they named a new president almost immediately.  maybe just to keep order in the company..who knows...

It was not disclosed why they left.  Don Wood is the new president, and it's business as usual.  Don has been in the business for twenty plus years, and has been upper management at Genmar for several years.  We wish the best to Gary, and look forward to maintaining our relationship with Stratos. It sounds like there is some exciting stuff for the future.  I will keep you posted.
