Duffy Johnson's PageLocation: Albuquerque, shiver me timbers, NM Favorite Rockets: My all-time favorite model was t' Estes Orbital Explorer, which I never did get t' fly correctly. Still loved it, 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. Begad! I be a young boy durin' t' height o' t' NASA Apollo program and have always had a rich interest in rocket flight and space travel.
