Quote from Zielijo1 on July 12, 2023, 2:31 pmA recent social media post made me look up some old pics. This referred to herb desind, the cineroc king. He would fly that anywhere. 3 mile island, Houston astrodome, and World Trade Center. This is where I met him n we used to fly what is now liberty science center/ park
So post an old pix of yourself doing rocketry. I did have a maxi Pershing 1A, maxi xwing, n FSI black brant. All on nightly D motors… still have black brant model. I have FSI unbuilt kits, and Pershing n xwing too

Sorry, I can't help you with old photos of me and rockets. My foray in rocketry as a kid was brief, not very successful, and totally undocumented. I took up sailing, football, and rifle shooting instead. Not too much of that documented either! So now in my old age, I physically can't play football, wife won't let me play with guns, and I can't afford sailing. So I'm back to rockets!

While I have always been a space nut, after "Star Wars" in 1977, I tried to take up film-making, went into animation, did that for a while, worked on TV and some movies, then got into computers, formed a multimedia company with a friend, we did CDROMs and then eventually websites in the early days of the internet, that all went bust in the 2000's recession, and then did IT full time for various banks. Retired and went back into rocketry. Go figure.
