DonnaK Posted June 19, 2015 Author #3057 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) What happened to Ken Rush? So does anyone know what happened / where Ken Rush ended up??? Ken's primary role is doing behind the scenes work on the new builds. He was on Quantum for the first two months, then on Anthem for the first two months, invisibly backing up the CD and helping to provide a smooth takeout. Presumably, he will also be on Harmony and Ovation in the same capacity. In between, he works with the new builds at the shipyard, and he fills in on the larger/newer ships as CD during the regular CD's break. At the moment, he is either still on Anthem, or he is on break. My best guess is that he will likely be the one who fills-in for Joff's break, or perhaps Gordon's break on Quantum (that guess is based on his most recent past assignments). Then, he will probably go to the shipyard to prepare for the next takeout. Edited June 19, 2015 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
