  • Mala Lin says:

    Isn’t he the one the current SFS regime blames for running them into the ground in the first place?

  • NotToneDeaf says:

    This is odd given that even-more-veteran David Hyslop retired from that very organization and lives in that city – and, unlike Assink, has remained active in the industry.

  • Robert Levine says:

    Brilliant choice.
