As for Commonwealth, someone was asking earlier in the thread. Steve sold rocket hobby side of Commonwealth in 2011 or 12. He still sells fireworks at the Southgate, MI location. Fireworks was always part of the business. The rocket side became CDI Rocketry. Last I heard the owner had fallen ill and closed it up.
Losing a committed vendor is always sad. I have seen it happen 3 dozen times and maybe 2 of them were welcome losses. The rest were outstanding folks.
