LTV,
That is really cool that you got to tour Estes while Vern was still in charge. I didn't make it down there until around 1974. At that time, Vern may have still been in a consultant role, but he wasn't there when I visited. I did later get to meet and interact over the next several years with Dane Boles and Bob Cannon.

Wish I had been involved in model rocketry earlier....

Cool pic!
