This will not be an easy pill to swallow.
What happened? Could it have been avoided? Or, was there nothing that could be done to save it? How long did we know that this was a possibility? What contingency plans have we worked on? What do we have, if anything, waiting in the wings as a replacement? Or replacements?
What will be the impact on Shawnee? Whatever the impact, what will it take to recover? How long will that take?
