Just sent him a message of well wishes and peace. I hope he and his family are still doing well as can be given the extraordinary and tragic situation. When things return to some semblance of normalcy for him, and he reopens shop, I'll definitely be putting in a large reorder, and get a new design for the Rover. He's a really great guy.
He actually replied a short time ago. Gennady's still in Kiev, alive and well, and strong as ever. He said he will be reopening the shop this week. He said to spread the word that he'll be back in business. QSL's and beyond. Made my night to hear that good news.
