Myke Bergenske passed away on December 29, 2017
FYI, for those who did not know:
Sadly, I recently learned that Myke Bergenske passed away at the age of 80 in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, on December 29, 2017. See obituary links: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/na...&view=guestbook http://www.tributes.com/obituary/sh...enske-105657783 Myke had quite a significant impact on the hobby of Model Rocketry. Several years ago, Myke sold some of his personal model rocketry items. I purchased an original Centuri Gabriel model rocket kit from him and still have it to this day. Kind regards, Jeff aka: Faithwalker NAR #46879 SR |

OH! That's a bummer.
He could have filled in a lot of history gaps. I ordered a lot of stuff from AVI back i the day, and won the design contest once. $50 went a long way back then!

I still have several AVI engines in my "old motor collection"
They had some neat composites along with BP motors.

Sorry to hear about Myke Bergenske's passing.
He and his wife Dianne were always very nice to me. https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...s-answered.html https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...-bergenske.html The attached picture is the Bergenske's from NARAM 18 in 1976.

The "Congreve." A bit like the USS America Centuri Superkit. This was in 76 or 77.
