I fully agree with Rushton---I am surprised that there isn't a bigger uproar from the members of ASOG over what seems to me as a take over of the company by the Blazer/Gilmore faction. It seems very strange that after Harry Blazer got involved that one year later Ralph is gone !!! As an example---just try and call Atma in Minn...all you will get is call forwarding to Harry Blazer's company. Who in the hell is Harry Blazer anyway ???? I am very skeptical about the whole situation and a word to the wise---if you like your Atma-sphere gear you better keep Ralph's number in your roledex because you might need it if you need support for the product in the future. If this is a hostile take over on the part of the Blaze/Gilmore group then they won't last very long because Atma-sphere survived for twenty years based on Ralph Karsten not the Blazer/Gilmore group. Let all of us realize that Atma-sphere was labor of love for Ralph not a means to get rich in such a low volume hand made product.
