Is Korey still alive? Haven't seen or heard of him in years. Last thing I heard he had done was to fly a hybrid out of Wallops to 106K.

All those pioneers. To bad they are gone now. Two of them I know of who were dynamos in the early history of HPR are now dead; one of stroke and the other of cancer.

And where is Bruce Kelley? He was a main factor in the creation of TRA.

So many wrecks along the side of the road in our journey to personal space flight ...

Bob


He's still alive

Let's explore this one a bit......are you serious? I've never heard of Guillows entering the model rocketry market.

He said nascent rocketry business. It never happened to consumers.
