I want to extend a big Texas "Thank you!" to John Ross, the director of the Fort Hays State University Forsyth Library in Kansas. When I found out I was losing my web page server, John stepped up and provided space for this site on the library's server as part of their digital library. Thanx a bunch, John and everyone at the university that helped out with the transfer!!!

During my first incarnation as a rocketeer, I
flew your basic Estes stuff. My favorite rocket was a scale model of
the Thor-Agena, until it sheared a fin during ascent outside of
Big Bend. But I really liked the idea of launching a camera on a
rocket, so I got a Camroc. This was a camera that mounted onto
the nose of a rocket and took one picture per flight. Out of six
flights, I got two photos, both of the same general area. It's a view of my home town, Cranfills Gap, Texas.
The main highway, Texas State Highway 22, runs across the top of the
photo. The other roads are 'city' streets. East is at the top of the
picture, north is to the left. This was taken in July 1973.
