"Now on to other things. I went to NARWIN-1 'Winter Nationals' in Phoenix over Christmas. They were great and well run. I met Stine, L. Reese, and many others."
A month later, a letter dated February 6, 1978 arrived in my mailbox with a nice surprise.
Herb had sent along some photos he took at NARWIN-1.
Here are scans of those pictures along with Herb's descriptive texts:
 |
| "An F-100 powered Class 5 altitude of G. Harry Stine, who is seen launching the rocket." |
 |
| "A blow-through of an Estes D12-7 in a super-roc--show that one to the guys at Estes." |
 |
| "One of Gary Rosenfield's G-engine rockets he was showing captured at the moment of liftoff.' |
There was a fourth photograph enclosed in the letter, but I am unable to locate that one. The description Herb wrote reads:
"A scale bird which went on to crash into little bits for reasons I do not know."
If there is one of you old timer rocketeers out there who happened to be at NARWIN-1 in December, 1977, and are the owner of such a scale entry that crashed, please enlighten me!
