Much pain and more to come. It is tough for a lot of folks just now. This is the result of the "new math" that built the financial house of cards, now tumbling down.

It is a sad day in the USA folks! And I think it is going to get a little worse before it gets better.

Americans have always rebounded from times like these. Let's just pray the rebound starts soon or you will start seeing longer bread lines.

It is sad to see any plant close. Fleetwood also closed their Lindsay, Ontario trailer plant earlier this year. In that case, I believe a manufacturer of Class B MHs took over the plant, so all was not lost. Perhaps that tells us something about where the RV industry is headed?

There can not be a more sinking feeling than when you are told this place no longer is going to be open. This happened to me back in 1982, with a trucking company; but I have never gotten over the sinking feeling. My heart breaks for all of the workers losing their jobs. Jon
