Rod Venger had a serious cancer episode, and one result was some facial
disfigurement. Eventually he became more interested in fostering a
support-group for people in this predicament, and that seems to have
occupied
his energy since. I would venture a guess that Susan found managing the
business without Rod's major interest a bit too much, hence the recent
closing.
