I don't know if this is sad news or good news for Gladys, but it was
interesting to me: in Wal-Mart's seasonal closeout of hunting and
fishing, there was several bottles of Gink. I'd never noticed it
before, and it somewhat shocked me to see it being sold down on the Gulf
Coast (the particular store was in d'Iberville, MS, but other Wal-Mart
stores in the area carry it). No Xink or other Gehrke products, so ???

I believe I've seen Gink sold at every fly shop of size that I have visited
anywhere in the world. Usually, there has not been any other product. I have
seen it in Latvia, Sweden, South Africa and New Zealand.

Yeah, but have you ever seen it in a S. Mississippi Wal-Mart?

I think it's great for his family and his memory, but I found it
odd...well, not so much "odd" as surprising...that a store whose "fly
fishing department" could be removed in a single shopping cart with room
left for milk, bread, several packs of fruit-of-the-looms, and an
inexpensive LCD TV (they carry exactly one fly reel, a Martin auto, yet
had a complete range of the inexpensive SA lines on seasonal special for
4USD) would carry Gink...but none other of the line (which would
probably sell well enough down here).
