While I had planned to stay with until the Christmas Update was released, I am letting you know I will be leaving 343 and attending to a family medical issue.

Bryan Koski will take on the role of GM of Franchise. Elizabeth Van Wyck takes charge of business and operations.
There''s still more to do to prepare for the Winter Update soon.
