44. I don't think they've treated him well for a long time. Why didn't he get comm. director job?

He's probably right. I've seen this before in the private sector. They hire someone w/great references and who they like, but who has little to no experience in the job he's being hired for...so the ones under him will have to do the job and train him, while the new guy gets all the credit. If it doesn't go well, the staff will be blamed.

He was right to leave. He's famous, now. Hopefully there will be some good job offers coming his way.

As for kiss and tell, he may not be able to say anything right now, but there's a book in his future.
