Check with Jerry Irvine of U.S. Rockets. IIRC, he bought out the remaining inventory.

Shout out to Jerry for hooking me up with two Saturns. They arrived in the mail today. Jerry still has more kits available.

Buy from Jerry.

I sure wish JD and JI could have kept their posts under control. The two of them had/have so much rocketry history filed away in their heads, and in the case of JD, in his house!

Jonathon Dunbar. Great guy. He lived a lot of model rocket history and collected even more of it. He just couldn't separate politics from his posts. Matt is selling off his huge collection now, and the proceeds are going to rocketry, iirc.

What a wonderful write up about Jonathan and all the people that lended their love and aid. I am just six years older than he nearly to the day, so I felt a kinship to him. We talked a few times via text. I am honored to have known him even a little.
