Default GEE BEEs in trouble.

This may not be news to some of ya, but recently I was after a GeeBee Tiger Moth kit. Tower had it in last years catalog on page 48. When I tried to find it in this years catalog, it was missing. I called Tower and it had been discontinued. After speaking with the Tower rep, she gave me a dirrect # to GeeBee Products in MA. I called them and spoke with the owner of GeeBee. This gentleman informed me that they had had a flood (water heater broke) and almost all the tooling and stock was ruined.He said that they had lost all their customers because they couldn't fill the orders. He sounded tired, but told me that even though his "man" had quit, he was trying to get back on line. This kinda broke my heart! Heres another small Mom-n-Pop kit builder that may just say screw-it. (my words, not his) I hope he does not quit! We are loosing thease guys faster than ARFs are produced somewhere else. I plan to send him my contact information and place an order. Here is the address if your intrested. A little moral support couldn't hurt. Didn't catch his name.
