Default Pilot Sunglasses

I'm hoping someone on here can help me out.
While at Sun n-Fun a couple years ago I stopped at a Sunglasses trailer ran by an older couple. They had exactly what I wanted and at a good price around $20 I think. I've seen them advertised in airplane magazines for about $90.
They are gradient lenses gray on top to clear on the bottom and they are also reading bifocals. These are exactly what I need for flying. I just broke my only pair and I need to order a couple more sets. I'm hoping to go to Sun-n-Fun but would like to get them before that. Anybody got the contact info for this couple?

They look like the ones I'm looking for.
I would still like to hear if anyone knows how to contact the couple that sells them at Sun-n-Fun.

Sounds like the same ones that I wear. I got mine from www.airplanethings.com , they advertise in the back of EAA Sportaviation. However, they are not $20. I paid closer to the $90 price that you mentioned.

The couple with the trailer sounds like Bob and Tonya from http://hazebuster.com
Their Hazebuster gradient sunglass is a bifocal for $65.
