Good news!

The new owners of GOEX are good friends of mine and they are wonderful people. I'm glad it all worked out the way it did.

John, good to hear a fellow Oregonian has an inside connection to the new Goex ownership.
I read that Estes will have the powder back on the market next year, leading me to hope they are takign the time to make needed production and safety improvements to the Minden plant. This can only make the resurrected Goex even better.

Estes used to have a factory just down the road from here but I don't know if it is still in operation. They took all the fun out of model rockets. I used to like to make my own propellant. They probably have saved countless fingers,hands and eyes though.

Far as I know Estes is still going strong at
Penrose CO, 20 +- miles west of here. Not too long ago I saw one of their trucks driving thru Pueblo.

John what do you know about them? I haven't been up that way in quite a few years.
