Bob-

Excellent and informative narrative! I enjoyed each installment. I recall in that same timeframe some rumors of Scott Dixon (Vulcan) possibly developing composites for Estes. Any idea whether there was any shread of truth to that rumor?

In a similar vein to this 'history' thread, any chance you can provide a similar treatment to your involvement with Enertek? I know you have touched on it in some prior threads, but it would be very interesting to hear (if you are at liberty to say and if you feel comfortable talking about it) why Enertek as an entity 'failed' so to speak, with such (as you commented in your opening post to this thread) high hopes and high sales potential. I understand that Lee stepped out of the picture at some point (wanted to spend more time/effort with his Hobby Bench stores maybe, seems I heard?), but I don't think I've ever really heard why Enterk didn't make it, after such great early promise.
