Unhappy Jolly Roger Rockets closed until further notice

JRR will be on severely reduced operating status, mostly closed, until further notice. As a one man operation, I often have challenges running such a business, but passion has keep me in the game.

All that changed this last week when I was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I will be undergoing 18 weeks of chemotherapy, and just won't be able to keep up with the demands of running a business.

I will do everything in my power to re-open when and if I recover from this. In the mean time, please keep me and my family in your thoughts as we go through this tough time.

I will probably not update here often, but it's possible you will hear from me occasionally.

I apologize to anyone who is inconvenienced by this, as I was desperately working on kit releases that just won't happen now.

I will still be sending out the pre-release kits as promised, but it will take a little longer to get those out.

Best of luck to you, Matthew.

I know everyone will understand if making model rockets isn't even close to your top priority now.

Your health and family comes first, but as energy and time allows keep up with your hobbies and do drop by now and then. It'll do ya good.

I am nearing my last treatment, and am slowly getting JRR back in the air.

Stay tuned for some new kit announcements!!!!
