  Hi Bob,

  Any leads on where we can find this stuff - I managed to find a
distributor, CGR & Valley Products, but am curious as to whether you know if
it is available through any retail channels.  I've made a phone inquiry to
CGR & Valley, and am awaiting information on minimum order quantity, etc.
He told me that they could probably work with a small order, but wasn't "the
guy" to really answer that question.
