Anyone know if Kenny Simmons is still running Goodwill Guides? Tried emailing him, no reply.

No. The guides have left Frog Hollow.

I think the Goodwill guides had a issue with the name. Seems Goodwill industries didn't like them using the Goodwill name from what I've heard. I am not sure what happened to the group and if they are still guiding.

Well, you have to realize that brand management and protection is not a trivial subject. Just because Goodwill Industries took issue with this potential brand infringement by the Goodwill Guides does not necessarily make them anti-veteran.
