The son decided it just wasn't worth keeping it alive anymore. Too bad, they were great people. Even after I moved north to Washington, I still did business with them. The closest I have here is Seattle (130 miles) and I fear that I'm just one of the faceless hordes when I walk in there; they just don't deal with me. I'll keep Calumet in mind; I'm mostly online and onphone these days.... a welcome recommendation!
