<ping> Dave Henney (davesrods.com)?

Hello All.

I'm new to this forum,
and am excited to engage with this rod building community!
Looks like there is a wealth of great information here.
I'm a relative novice, having just restored my first rod over the past few months:
a late 50's - early 60's Wright + McGill 'Featherlight' 6'6" 2/1 5wt, that was my Father's.
I really enjoyed the process, learning as much as I could along the way;
and the rod really came out great.

And now that I've been bitten by this bug,
I want to build a few more rods...

The point of my post is to try and make contact with Dave Henney of Dave's Rods .com?
For my next build, I really would like to obtain an old-stock J Kennedy Fisher graphite blank with spigot ferrules.
(ideally an 8'6" 4/5 wt.); My searches on the web turn up Dave's name as a source for these blanks?
Unfortunately, nothing that turns up is more recent than 2006, however;
and my attempts to e-mail him or call have gone un-answered.

Does anyone here have any recent info on Dave?
How to contact him? etc.
(or even if Dave himself sees this post, maybe he could answer?
I see that he's posted here in the past...)

I would appreciate any advice you all might have for either contacting Dave,
or for obtaining one (or two...) or these Fisher blanks from another source?

Thank you.
Corey

I have not seen Dave active here in many years.

JK Fisher has been gone for several years.
