AKA: Goonster Location: Lansing, MI Certification Level: NAR Club Memberships: S.M.A.S.H. NAR#500 Favorite Rockets: Goony Birds of course and my DynaStar "Snarky" Biography: A native of Iowa, my family moved to Texas in early 60's where I first got into rocketery during the Apollo era when every kid wanted to be an astronaut. My introduction to the sport was an Astron X-Ray which I launched with a medium sized 2" long grasshopper as a bug-a-naught. Both rocket and grasshopper survived the flight. Dropped out in 1966 due to military hitch then moved to Michigan after getting married and starting a 30 year career at G.M.. Was back into the hobby for a while in mid 70's before again dropping out until the late 90's just before my retirement. Now I truely am a Born Again Rocketeer and devote a lot more time to building and flying rockets. My current fleet has gwown to over 100 (sixteen of which are Goony Birds). I also have a grand-daughter now that I take to launches and that I help build rockets with and that will someday inherit my collection. Her favorite rocket is my kit-bashed Cloud Hopper Goony Bird (goonies are also among her favorites).
