No, it is not what you're thinking...
In order to continue to grow EMRR, we formed some cooperative relationships with various organizations (term loosely used). Below are some of them.
Southern Area Rocketry (SoAR), Model Rocketry – From the Ground Up (FGU), and Global Youth Rocketry Organization (GYRO) were three websites that had a collection of model rocketry reviews. EMRR contacted them to see if we could have copies of their reviews on EMRR and they agreed. FGU and GYRO are now gone while SoAR continues to thrive.

Southern Area Rocketry (SoAR) is an active NAR Section that, among it's many other activities, promoted writing kit overviews. The overviews may have been very detailed or brief and come from many of the members ranging from all age groups. Although, EMRR is not a member of SoAR, we applauded SoAR's efforts to promote model rocketry and to encourage sharing experiences with others. (Notice the really old logo?)

Model Rocketry - From the Ground Up was for all rocketeers: beginner, intermediate, or advanced who are looking for the information on getting started in model rocketry, building their own models from scratch, and moving into advanced mid-power rocketry. The site answered many, many questions and was a good resource for all rocketeers.

Global Youth Rocketry Organization (GYRO ) was an active young person's organization that is free and for those rocketeers that are under 18 years of age. GYRO was thought up by Brett Keller to address the needs of younger rocketeers: model rocketry. So if you were under 18, anywhere in the world, you could join them.

As of late, many of the guests that contribute reviews also frequent
The Rocketry Forum (TRF). TRF is an Internet-Friendly discussion forum with separate categories to allow for guests to find their topics of interest. Solid software interface and flexible profile management, make The Rocketry Forum easy to use and get information from.

Other Honorable Mentions:
Darrell D. Mobley started Rocketry Online, sold it, and then started
RocketryPlanet. Both of these sites have allowed EMRR to make duplicates of any review articles.

Sport Rocketry and
Extreme Rocketry magazines did not give permission to copy entire reviews and therefore EMRR can only place "excerpts" within our archive.
Next Up: Why not a true rating system?

Also met James Gartrell for the first time and he provided this picture of Dick and I. Scary, isn’t it!
Well, I don’t want to go into many details, but the owner became unresponsive to e-mails and calls. There was some rumors about being “hit in the head” at a softball game and some rumors indicating that the “accident” was retaliatory for previous business conduct. I don’t know. What I do know is that Aardvark went up for auction and I was left with a sizeable investment to write-off. 
My second “investment” was much cleaner but met with limited success. I contracted to be the exclusive US distributor for the Canadian company Model Minutes. Had a successful kick off and acquired many, many kits. The sale of those kits did not go as expected. Needless to say, I still have some kits to sell and I’m simply working to cover my costs.
