    Hi There gang...

    After a 20 year absence, I have returned to rec.models.rockets. I found my old range box and supplies etc. after having moved from Utah to New England... yes they were stashed away in boxes that I had never unpacked. Here I am in the land of trees...
    and highly limited open space... (most unfortunate) where I am originally from.

    I get this twisted notion of cranking up the rocket stuff and did a ton of web surfing to find out what's up with the world. I come across Semroc and note that they've cloned some kits I've always wanted (eg. Centuri's Aero-Dart original version). A
    week or so later all I get when I try to get back on their web site is:



    "A communication error occurred: ""
    The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time."

    Anybody know what gives??

    The person behind Semroc, Carl McLawhorn, passed away in 2013. His wife
    and son tried to keep it going, but the son went into kidney failure
    that same year and couldn't keep it up (I'm not sure what his status is
    at this point).

    Fortunately, in 2015, Randy Broadway (the guy behind erockets) purchased
    the company.
