He does something for us once a quarter or so. He scaled back very amicably and he told me it was b/c of his day job commitments (he runs a legal staffing agency). I'm having lunch with him this week, in fact. Bottom line is that everyone except for you stuck around. And so your original statement that another individual "left" CapitalWeather is just flat out wrong.
