After 20 years as president of the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum, this morning Bill White resigned without warning for reasons the NY Times reports were not clear. His departure means he's also leaving his positions at two charitable organizations that raise money for inured servicemen, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and the Intrepid Relief Fund. In a statement, White said: “These are institutions to which I have dedicated the last 20 years... This has not been an easy decision for me, but I feel the time has come for me to pursue new challenges with similar goals.” The Wall Street Journal points out his resignation comes days before the start of Fleet Week, the Intrepid's biggest event of the year. Let's hope his departure doesn't stop us from getting a space shuttle!
