OK, I'll bite:

I used to be into model rockets years ago.  I was a regular mail order customer
of Estes and Centari (sp?).  Do either or both of these suppliers still exist?

What are there addresses (to write for catalogs)?  Are there any new model
rocket suppliers?

What are the current range of engine sizes (have they changed in the last
10 years or so?)  I remember 3 physical sizes with different burn times and
ejection charge delays):
1/4A & 1/2A = .5" diameter
A, B & C = .75" diameter
D = 1.0" diameter

(I just subscribed to this newsgroup, so no flames about being totally
ignorant, please)
