Rainbow over launch site at Hatsel Colorado

Rainbow over the launch site at Hartsel Colorado. All in all, Hartsel gets my vote as the nicest site I have yet visited to launch rockets. Very enjoyable!

Mr. Boggs science class. Topic: ROCKETS!! (1970 or 1971) Photo by Vern Knowles.

My very first "rocket photo"! I took this photo in either 1970 or 1971 while in junior high school. It shows the science teacher Mr. Boggs explaining how the Estes Cineroc works. It was an 8mm film camera rocket. The guys gathered around him are my class mates. Mr. Boggs introduced me to Estes rockets and got me started in rocketry. Every school should have a science teacher like him!

I was also in the photography class that year, so I was able to take photos like this and then develop the film and print the enlargements in the school's photo lab. What a fun time!

I flew Estes kits and a lot of scratch built rockets back then. A "D" motor was the biggest you could get. It seemed huge! I wonder what my NAR membership number was back then?
