Well, I wasn't saying that it was not the farmer who threw them off the land (I've got the article too in my collection, both the original Model Rocketry article and the later Model Rocketeer article).

I was just making the point that his ire was raised initially by the illicit 'amateur' activity that had, as I recall, 'sneaked' onto the property for their activities, and hence, ruined use of the land for ALL rocketry activities.

Probably not the last time that would happen in rocketry endeavors, I don't suppose.

I tried a few years ago via Google Maps to find out what might be on that property now, but could not easily pinpoint the exact location outside of Denver. Anyone know specifically, I wonder?
