Here's mine. This is the full set which had been sealed in the bag as Carl had sent it to me. I had not opened it till now for the picture. I just let all the "Semroc Air" escape. Kurt Schachner would tease me about not wanting to open any of my old kits lest I let the Estes or Centuri air escape. :D

Like Scott, I just let the Semroc Air escape from the package. Never opened until now.
I really AM A SAM... my middle name is SAMuel. :D

SAM was but one of MANY special things that Carl and Sheryl did for all of us LOONEY BARs here at YORF. They are/were truly a "once in a lifetime" privledge to get to experience. GOLD Standard business and people.

Treasured possession - SAM #1.

Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle! #1 ??????

I thought Buzz and Gordy were impressive.

Comrades!


Found mine. It was still in the bag, but I had opened it years ago. I have used some of the decals on special rockets over the years.

Yes, it is somewhat surprising, but I guess that is just another indication of who THEY thought was No.1: the customer. And that showed through in soooo many ways over the years.

Earl, you all were #1 to us. I wish I remembered how the numbers were distributed. Brings back some wonderful memories.

Thank you, everyone, for making those years so special to us.

No, thank YOU, Carl and Bruce! It was like a Golden Age back when you were operating.

My two favorite ID's, forever connected next to my workbench. Thanks, Sheryl, Bruce, and especially Carl, for some of the most awesome fun of my life. :)

While searching I found these.

One of my favorites is the visitor badges from the MLAS launch at Wallops Island.

Gus and Peter should have theirs too.

Semroc Badge
 
Gordy --- now you've made me go digging around for MY "Sky of Gold" badge. It's around here somewhere, and I'd forgotten all about it. I should really keep it with the other Semroc goodies...

Out of curiosity - what is the leftmost Semroc badge in your set? I've seen the graphic before, but not used on an ID badge. Was it some kind of vendor ID at a Semroc-sponsored event?

ghrocketman 05-29-2020 12:32 PM

Cool badges, Gordy.

Hey, this is kinda fun! :D

Let's all look up the Sky of Gold "stuff". Most of us are home. We all need more stuff to do.

I have a box of Sky of Gold stuff. Let me take some pics.

This is better than Netflix. :rolleyes:

I have another one! :eek:

Let's see your NARAM 50 stuff.

You guys knew you were saving it for a reason.

This stuff is only good for showing off... here. :D

Ya can't use it to impress your new girlfriend. :rolleyes:

Blushingmule 05-29-2020 03:33 PM

2008? Seems like yesterday. I missed NARAM 50 but got to play anyway!

Bob
p.s. hmmm, this may be cooler than the SAM badge ;)

neil_w 05-29-2020 05:53 PM

What did you have to do to get one of these (either SAM or Sky of Gold)?

Earl 05-29-2020 06:46 PM

I for the life of me do not know where my SAM badge is, but I know where my Sky of Gold certificate is. I’ll try to make a photo of it soon. Yeah, really hard to believe that is coming up on 12 years ago.

Sky of Gold/NARAM 50
 
4 Attachment(s)
Can't seem to find the SAM Badge, but in order of appearance below:


Photo #1: Golden Scout #'s 62, 63 & 64 with a nice note from Sheryl on the Invoice telling me they started with #60. I'm assuming the first 59 went to various dignitaries. I bought 2 or 3 more after receiving these, which turned out to be a good thing because when I went to build one for NARAM 50, I couldn't find the box with these in it.


Photo #2: Sky Of Gold and NARAM 50 badges and pin.


Photo #3: Golden Scout #340 which I flew at NARAM 50 due to the aforementioned misplacement of lower numbered kits, along with the reproduction Scout give to NARAM attendees. The Certificate is in a file folder somewhere in this mess.


Photo #4: Vintage Astron Skyhook signed by Vern at NARAM 50.

Here's my Sky of Gold Scout (#215) and certificate.

Flown at NARAM-50.

Ok, pulled out the Sky of Gold certificate and the Golden Scout. Mine was #372. I did not make it to NARAM-50, but flew mine at the local field I had then on a 1968 Estes 1/2A motor. Worked fine.

I'll have to do some more digging for my SAM badge. Gosh, the location on that just stumps me.
