Bill told me he was employed at the first Hobby Bench store (at 17th Ave.) even before it opened and one of his duties was to build many of the rockets that still hang from the ceiling there. He said he couldn't absolutely recall but he was pretty sure he built the Skylab. |

Now that you mention that, I believe I may have been confused. I believe it was Bill Stine and not Rick Piester who built most of the hobby bench models. I may have confused the two famous sons of two legends.

Where does the name Akela come from? Greg |

We have a winner!
Snip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle_Book Quote:
As mentioned above, Akela is a wolf and leader of the wolf pack in Kipling's story. In my son's Cub Scout book (WEBELO), they just say that Akela means "leader". Greg |

They dropped the wolf connection after dens of cub scouts went running about on all fours and taking down deer. But seriously: If anyone wants my original Akela 8-pack decal sheet, I'll be happy to send it to you if you make a $10 donation to the NAR. |
