[BA-Rockets] June Launch Report and News

[Cliff Sojourner]

hi Marty,

I am getting absolutely nowhere with the people at Ames.  sorry.


I think I owe BayNAR $20.  at the June launch we brought 12 kids, 2 were
mine, so that's 10 * $2 each for groups.  I paid Norm for the launch tix,
but didn't pay for the kids.  we launched 30 rockets, what a fun time!!

are you going to LUNAR on Saturday?

regards,
Cliff
