In the NARAM Live site pictures I saw both Vern and Gleda Estes. I thought the same thing.

Default Glad to be home...

It was good to see Vern and Gleda again!

Arrived home Monday (stayed a couple of extra days hoping to find
lost phone.)

Here are some pics including the "Big Ranger", the Delta Syx, etc.
The USA flag decals are from after the shuttle exploded back in '86.
They were printed and distributed by Microscale gratis to hobby shops shortly thereafter.

The last pic shows the packet celebrating Vern and Gleda celebrating 65 years together
that Vern and Gleda handed out to all attendees; and what was won from the auction,
a repro catalog stiched by Gleda with accompanying repro vintage photo, and a tube of D13-0.

No need for the pic of the #1903 Maxi Alpha :-)

Certainly enjoyed my trip to NARAM for the sport launch weekend. Got in 10 flights, mostly RC/RG models.

Wish I could have stayed past Sunday afternoon, but had to be back at work by Monday.

Tom,

It sure was great to see you again after ~ 20 years!

I've always liked your designs and nicely crafted models!

Bob

Thanks for the kind words....I ought to check in here more often!

I was amazed at how many people there remembered me from my most active rocketry period of about 1990-1996 and from NARAM 38 that I attended n 1996.

Currently mulling over going to NSL 2017 in Alamagordo....could happen.
