Article content 'Don needed out, and the time was right. (Remembrance Day) was his last swing, taking a stance that's unpopular, but that feels good in his world. For Don, it's all a fight. It's all a battle. So he was happy and I'm happy for him.' Article content Cherry also flatly rejected that assertion, saying 'he wasn't looking for a way out.' Article content 'He can say what he wants, but it never happened.'
