OUTSTANDING!

Thanks, Sheryl, for all you've done — by far not the least of which was patiently working to keep Semroc in good hands.

Default Wow !

Great news, Sheryl !
Glad you were able to find a new owner that met your requirements.

I will always think of you, Carl, and Bruce when placing an order.

I wish you and your entire family all the best in the future !
You, Carl, and Bruce brought a lot of joy to us BARs that could never be repaid.

Don't be a stranger to the forums just because you sold the company.

As one of the folks who remember and experienced Semroc V1.0 and sees the love for Semroc 2.0, I look forward to 3.0 with mixed feelings. The loss of a founder and family business is always a bad thing, no matter how wonderful the follow-on is. My thoughts are with your family for as long as I live.

Just Jerry

+1 to this... You're family has been one of the greatest blessings in this hobby. I want to thank you for all the good things you've done for all of us!

Great news that Semroc will continue. I wish it could have continued with the McLawhorn family, but it was not meant to be. Best wishes to you all.

Looking forward to new relationships with the new owner of Semroc, but we'll always remember with warmest fondness the dedication and kindness shown by the McLawhorn family.

Best of luck!
Jeff

I can say without reservation that had it not been for Semroc, I doubt that I could have maintained my interest in the hobby for as long as I have. Between kits and parts you guys kept me occupied for a solid decade. I know it can't compare to how much you miss him, but I was just thinking earlier this week about what a huge loss his passing was to this hobby. Every vendor should aspire to your example, and I consider myself fortunate to have known all of you.

+1 to what Bill just said.
Semroc re-kindled an interest in rocketry for me that never would have happened without all the great Retro-Repro, SLS, and clone kits of the originals I missed during my first foray into the hobby.
I would have just stuck to R/C aircraft, which I'm just getting back into.
