Time will tell, when time is ready.

I know there has been a lot of speculation on what would happen and even more rumors. When the time is right for an announcement I'm sure we'll all here something. Just keep in your thoughts that the Hab's Custom Plugs legacy is something the family & friends of John know of, was involved in, and respects - John would be proud.

Be interesting to see what they sell for if and when they are reissued.

I don't think you are trying to be disrespectful. A lot of people are asking. When the family decides what they want to do they know they have the support of his friends and the surfcasting community at large. Whatever they choose to do.

It would be totally insane if the Habs business was not continued. It's a strong brand. That's worth everything. Nobody could call it a knock off if it had the family's approval and was made the same way. It would be a winner and serve us all.

Say there's a young person involved. I say do college part time while running this thing. It's doable because it has a big moat... it won't be tough. The experience gets the young'n into a better B school. S/he comes out and builds it and winds up buying Gibbs, companies like Atom that pop, and so on. Improves on all of them and becomes the 800 lb gorilla in the plug business. Anyway that's my advice if there's a son, daughter, niece or nephew involved.
