Overscheduled?
The 50th reunion, held at John Langford's Aurora Flight Systems, definitely felt different than this one, probably due to everyone being ten years younger back then. The more populous east coast vibe, and it being in an open hangar, also helped. The remarks, pretty much from the same group of people (Bill, Vern, Lee) or NAR positions, seemed shorter. I talked to pretty much everyone I wanted to talk to then; not sure what the difference was this year, but I didn't see Tom Milkie though he was there. Had a photo of him flying a 3-E5 rocket glider at a launch in Athens, GA in '73 or 74 John brought him to, that I wanted him to autograph.
