Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2005Effort to Save the Oldest Hobby Shop in Alabama
Yesterday the oldest hobby store in Alabama, Spivey's Hobby & Toys, was destroyed in a fire. According to the news report, no one was injured. However, they were not insured. Here's the story: http://tinyurl.com/awd7q Spivey's was an AeroTech products dealer that apparently purchased through distributors. RCS is prepared to donate $1,000.00 of AeroTech product at dealer cost to Spivey's if the owners are able to reopen their business in a new location. Consider this a challenge to all other hobby manufacturers to donate their products to Spivey's so that they may recover. Spivey's may be contacted at: info@spiveyshobby.com (205) 785-9690 (Ph) (205) 785-9692 (Fax) 1303 Tuscaloosa Avenue S.W. Birmingham, AL 35211 http://spiveyshobby.com I sent them an email this afternoon. I don't know if their phone numbers have been transferred to another location or not. Under these circumstances, mail will usually be held at the Post Office until the addressee picks it up. This is being posted to the other internet hobby forums and lists as well. __________________ Gary Rosenfield President, AeroTech Consumer Aerospace Division of RCS Rocket Motor Components, Inc. 2113 W. 850 N.

Sounds like they need a brain donation to me! > Yesterday the oldest hobby store in Alabama, Spivey's Hobby & Toys, was > destroyed in a fire. According to the news report, no one was injured.

He had insurance, but the company did what a lot of insurance companies did. They cancelled, leaving him with nothing. >I would say they are not very smart to own a business and not have >insurance [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >> Cedar City, UT 84720 >> http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com Then you get off your a.s and find an insurance company who will insure you. You just don't not have it. Sure he may have to pay more, etc. But some company would have insured him. > I would say they are not very smart to own a business and not have insurance > for it!
