Meanwhile, the company is in full retreat from tomorrow. It plans to shut down or sell...
Franklin Jarman remains unsatisfied: he is anxious to resume dividend payments. But one Genesco stockholder who seems pleased by developments is none other than Maxey Jarman. Not long ago, he sent his son a copy of a book on airplanes, inscribed with a kind personal note. In return, Frank Jarman sent him a copy of Futurologist Herman Kahn's optimistic book The Next 200 Years. Says Franklin Jarman: "Time heals everything." Profits help...
