We're (GLRC) still planning on locating in the same area we've been in for the past several years. (Grand Rapids) Close to the hobby shops, and we're also working with a parts supplier somewhat like we've had in the past. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but it is in the works.

Dustin

Marty,

You might want to re-think who we talked about during our last conversation. Hopefully that will refresh your memory. We didn't discuss whether or not GLRC would be reopening. Either way, give me a call on the Nextime Sunday afternoon (tomorrow). This isn't the place, right?.
