dakotadan Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I was expecting someone with a little more inside information to post something here but the new GM for the Ralph was hired today. There was apparently 60 applicants and they hired a man from Tacoma, Washington. He had worked at the Tacomodome(?). I didn't catch his name on the six o'clock news but they said they would have more on him on the 10 o'clock news. I would assume that they would be releasing some sort of announcement to the media very shortly. Anyone else that knows more please let us know.
