> 1. Real Name and City/State.
My real name is William Douglas Sams, but if anybody calls me William, I'll kill 'em My parents called me Doug since the git-go, and that's how it's always been.

> 2. Local flying club.
I'm currently the NAR Section Advisor for the Dallas Area Rocket Society, www.dars.org

> 3. Year started flying.
1st time was either 69 or 70 - not sure which. But my first flight was on a Thanksgiving day. It was frickin' cold out in central Kentucky that day, and we couldn't make the 6V Electro-Launch light those blue-coated Astron ignitors for anything. My cousin finally got us into the air when he spotted the free sample of nichrome wire shipped with my starter set.

> 4. What you hope to gain from this experiment.
A pat on the back and the opportunity to buy some really neat stuff.

> 6. Your primary interest area (engines, rocket design, support, building, etc.)
Engines.

Doug

Mark Delhaye Elgin, IL

No club, just me, my three 10 year olds, and anyone else that wants to tag along.

Started in 1974 (or there about)

I gain a little knowledge or get an idea quite often while reading the forums. I believe the SVDT will be a great creative resource for all of us.

As a team I hope we can help Semroc to provide the HOBBY (not the average Walmart impulse toy buyer) with quality innovative products MADE IN THE US of A.

Primary interest: sport rocket design and building.

Alright, Francis.

I wondered if anybody would get the the Stripes reference. BTW, they shot most of it in my neck of the woods. The army stuff was at Fort Knox; the bar scenes in Louisville; and the Eastern Bloc stuff was shot in the Bardstown area at a whisky distillery. The metal buildings were whisky warehouses. Warren Oates was just coming into his own with that film, then had a heart attack and died. And that's a fact, Jack.

Billy Doug, on the other hand, is apparently fine, since I called him that yesterday and I'm still walking today.

I would have, but I saw that I'd already been aced out. I got a late start tonight. My daughter was a finalist in the geography bee at school. She came in third in a weak field. I could answer all but two questions, so they can't have been that tough, even for middle school.
