The kits with the highest interest would be worked on first. Worked out pretty well and got everyone involved.

Sheryl,

I had the great pleasure to meet Randy Boadway and others at the eRockets Build Night the Tuesday evening before NSL. My wife and I just returned from a monster 5000+ mile road trip thru 17 states and Canada and were fortunate to be in Dayton for the event. That night also happened to be Randy's birthday. I also finally met Bill Eichelberger, whom I've "known" for a few years online, but never met face to face. Lots of other friendly folks there, too. I did not build anything while there, just talked for hours with rocket people!

It was fun to see the operations, and some of the equipment from Semroc like the nose cone lathe and body tube cutter. And also very nice to see the new products being devloped, as well as new tooling.

The great company you and Carl started lives on in very capable hands!
