“Happily though, Erewhon did not disappear. In early<br />
1982, after several months in the limbo <strong>of</strong> negotiation, the<br />
company was sold by the Kushis to Ron Rosetti, owner <strong>of</strong><br />
the Nature Food Centres retail chain. Later that year Rosetti<br />
accepted as fi nancial partners Chuck Verde <strong>and</strong> Cynthia<br />
Davis, who became respectively president <strong>and</strong> vice president<br />
for marketing. Since then the operation has been totally in<br />
their h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
“Recently I met with Verde <strong>and</strong> Davis, who were<br />
accompanied by Jeanne Bock, a pre-Chapter Eleven<br />
employee <strong>of</strong> Erewhon who now h<strong>and</strong>les public relations for<br />
the company. Verde, an affable, energetic man in his forties,<br />
has a master’s degree in marketing, <strong>and</strong> worked for years in<br />
management <strong>and</strong> marketing at Mennon <strong>and</strong> Gillette. Davis<br />
is a tall, articulate, business-like woman with a Harvard<br />
MBA <strong>and</strong> also with experience at Gillette. We sat in a plush<br />
meeting room at Erewhon’s production facility in Natick,<br />
Massachusetts <strong>and</strong> discussed the company’s recent past, its<br />
present, <strong>and</strong> its future.”<br />
The rest <strong>of</strong> the article is about plans for Erewhon’s<br />
future.<br />
