Geez, I'm only 44 and I'm considered an "Old Rocketeer" I wonder what we will call the old rocketeers session when we're all over 80?

The *Really* Old Guys?

More like "the late, great".

NARCON was a blur for us. The weeks (months...) of preparation. The anticipation. The long drive. The booth setup. The addresses by Lee (and Betty) and Matt. Renewing old friendships. Meeting new friends. Missing our friends that could not make it. Far too much fun, then it was over. The long drive back home. Then the orders and demand for what we did not have!

There has been little time to slow down and remember and pass around thanks to everyone that made NARCON 2006 possible.

Scott and everyone at WOOSH. You have made it a tough act to follow.

Jay, thanks for drawing Lee and Betty back into the fold. I don't think they would have come if you had not laid the groundwork. I started Semroc in 1967 because of my admiration of Vern and Lee and a desire to be like them. Since then I have discovered that Gleda and Betty were just as responsible for building the dream I am living in. I hope we will all see much more of the Piester's at future events.

Looking forward to NARAM now!

Me, too!

I look forward to meeting you.

I, also, expect I will be leaving you with a bit of my hard earned $$$ for all the new kits you will be bringing to NARAM to sell!

See you in August!

Bob

Default Related...but

Hi all,

Bob here, went to NARCON '00 (held in the DFW area) before moving to Nacogdoches. Was a member of DARS and later MARS.

Not much going on here in "falling parts city" (happened upon a scorched composite piece next to my car that had floated down for hours...I can give details if interested) but there are plenty of projects ahead.

Bob
