“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 />
