AKA: Goonster Location: Laingsburg, MI Certification Level: NAR Club Memberships: JMRC NAR#620, HUVARS NAR#463 Favorite Rockets: Goony Birds, DynaStar's - Snarky, Estes - E-Interceptors and any of my scratch builds Biography: A native of Iowa, my family moved to Texas in Aug. 62 where I first got into rocketry during the Apollo era when every kid wanted to be an astronaut. My introduction to the sport was an Astron X-Ray which I ordered from an add in Boy's Life Magazine through the Boy Scout's and 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 truly am a Born Again Rocketeer and devote a lot more time to building and flying rockets. My current fleet has grown to over 100 (sixteen of which are Goony Birds). I also now have a grandson (Mehcod) that I take to launches and that I hope to help build rockets with and t as he gets older and that will someday inherit my collection.
