That's very sad. (I've been pretty busy and hadn't heard about it until now.) Calumet has been very good to CIPNE ("Commercial/Industrial Photographers of New England"), whereof I think I'm still a member. Come to think of it, CIPNE isn't doing too well itself, I'm afraid. Anybody who could spare a few hours a month could probably take over as President, with the heartfelt gratitude of the membership.

But anybody who blames Calumet for screwing its employees should get a grip. That's the way capitalism works, and is intended to work.

That too is sad, but it's the way it is.
