Favorite Rockets: My all-time favorite model be t' Estes Orbital Explorer, which I never did get t' fly correctly. Avast! Still loved it, matey, though!

Biography:

I was introduced t' model rocketry in 1976 by several school friends who belonged t' an ad-hoc rocketry club.  I've been buildin' kits and launchin' on and off ever since, most recently a few weeks ago with me son, who is now t' same age I was when I began t' hobby. I was a young boy durin' t' height o' t' NASA Apollo program and have always had a rich interest in rocket flight and space travel.
