I had a multi-year subscription when Tom died as well and was never contacted with an offer to refund or information about continuing the magazine. I did ask them about their plans at the Great Waters Expo in Blaine MN last spring and they were very vague.

I would think that FAOL would take them down as sponsors. Unless of course they are still being paid in which case there should be some notice on the link that they are no longer in production, instead of a link that takes you to their website. At least in tlerm's case his wife got him a subscription to a defunct magazine. Fortunately for them they did not pay for it up front.
