Sorry about no Calvin's chile powder. Calvin became seriously allergic 
to nightshade, which includes all chiles, tomatoes, potatoes, etc., and 
was forced to not only quit selling it, but worse, was forced to quit 
having anything at all to do with those items. So, his hobby, and his 
little business came to an abrupt end. Worse, he had other problems 
concerning his business, as he was always exposed to chile tepins in 
Texas, which grow wild everywhere the oil business is. The last time I 
talked to him, he was not very happy, and I believe he had to pack up 
his wife and 4 dtrs and move.  So, no more Calvin's product. However, an 
unpaid commercial here, in that Jim Campbell was supplying Calvin with 
some powders before he packed it in, and could possibly supply a 
reasonable facsimile thereof. Even though he would do it under duress, 
as his personal code of ethics would give him pause, before he would 
"pirate" someone else's product. Even knowing the circumstance involved. 
Do I know Mr.
Campbell??? Yup! So, there is the story! Cheeers, Doug in BC
