Many are concerned that perhaps Ryan unfortunately may not have survived the crash. In any event, it is becoming clear that his business has not. Too bad, as he once was among the best.
For what it's worth: Before I read all this here, I placed an order on-line on 12-28-14 at about 1630 hrs. I almost immediately received e-mails showing my credit card had been charged for the items. Then I saw all the postings about AST. I was worried. However the items arrived in the mail today 1-5-15. Everything seems well packaged and in good order.
