Jim Ivy

I feel the opposite, thanks to this little network of freinds, I feel like I'm the only one in the loop. Thanks to all who research, study, and then share.

Absolutely! My comments were not directed at this great site but at Ricoh Corp. I was trying to determine if any of the other Ricoh dealers get information from their DSM/MASM/etc. We, at the end of last year (2002) put over 100 Ricohs into an account. We haven't seen anyone from Ricoh (sales side) at our dealership in well over a year. And we were awarded the AA B/W Dealer of the Year for Ricoh in 2001! To top it off I think it is really strange to not have communcae from the 'upper crust' of an organization like Ricoh at least quarterly.

Jim Ivy has taken a leave of absence and another Savin guy has taken the temp position of President. I understand that Jim Ivy & Kirk Yoshida met before the arrest or right after.

I expected an official response, due to the seriousness, to all this from Ricoh Corp to all of it's dealers.

AS I understand the only office response was to Savin & RBS/Ricoh US. Can anyone else clarify?

They held a conference call with our folks here and discussed it with them shortly before it was made public.

Thanks!
