Lew is apparently having a personal and financial crisis, and more-or-less abandoned his business to go train soldiers for the war.  No one here knows his reasons for doing what he's done, good or bad, but several of his customers, including folks here who were personal friends, paid in advance for items that they haven't received, and will probably never get.  It's been almost two years, maybe longer.

Since this thread really isn't appropriate here beyond what I've written, I'm going to lock this thread.
