I grew up in Colorado Spring and after a class field trip to the Estes factory in Penrose in 2nd grade(1969)I was hooked on Rocketry.
My dad was Air Force At Ent AFB( now the Olympic training center) and we joined Peak city during that time. We flew at the Academy almost every weekend and went to all the NARAMs till I joined the Military in 1978.
After that my dad stopped going and then came kids and 24 years of deployments and moves in my life so I lost track of rocketry
When he passed away several years ago I found a large box of our old rockets in the crawl space at his house.
I returned to the hobby about 10 years ago.
Thanks for the flashbacks I miss those days and the days of watching Gemini And Apollo live in Black and White and recreating them with my dad in color against the backdrop of the front range.
