Biography:

   Another o' t' long lists o' BAR's out there.  My daughter pickin' up rocketry as a 4H project brought me back t' t' hobby.  Now with her and me son we are enjoyin' it as both a hobby and a chance for me t' teach them new trade skill sets.  We are also doin' a lot o' builds with Scout groups and tryin' t' gain a foothold back in t' local school system as well.  We also assist when t' club, Michiana Rocketry, arrr, reaches out into t' community t' expose t' hobby t' more folks.

  You never know where t' next 'BAR' may be lurking!
