Posted by Ted at January 1, 2006 08:31 AM | TrackBackThanks a lot, dude. I hope that 2006 is full of health and happiness for your family, and lots of rocket flying for you!
I would suggest one addition to the Organizations section: the NARHAMS club, the oldest chartered NAR section in the country, which has friendly fly-whatcha-brung launches near Frederick, MD and at the Goddard Space Flight Center visitors's center. Their site is at www.narhams.org. I am, as you know, a strong supporter of both NOVAAR and NARHAMS, two fine clubs that welcome newcomers and curious onlookers. There is no better way to learn what this sport of ours is all about than to show up at one of these clubs' events, preferably with kids in tow. Thank you for helping to expand the number of grownups who think it's fun to make little cardboard tubes go up in the air.

NARHAMS will be added, so will the folks down at Whitakers. The list is very preliminary, I just wanted to get it out there so I'd have a one-stop page for all of my resources.
