End of an Era?

Today Thomson announced that the shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the acquisition of Reuters, and with that the retirement of Dick Harrington President and CEO, The Thomson Corporation . He has been at the helm of Thomson for 11 years, and it has been my privilege to have met him on several occasions. Dick Harrington has piloted Thomson through an immense transformation as it moved from the world of Print into the Information industry which it leads today. I for one will be sorry to see him leave, but I am excited by the prospect of the future here.
