He had surgery here recently but should be getting back in the mix. Good luck, because I suspect that his phone will be ringing off the hook especially since a few of his calls are all of a sudden going for insane prices on ebay, for what reason that's suddenly occurred, I haven't a clue. If I recall, his son in law or some family member has stepped in to learn and began helping him make calls. I've had his Outlaw Hen slate for a good while and definitely like it.
