George (And everyone),
Thanks for the kind comments concerning my writing about the history of this fine hobby.
I doubt I will ever write a book on the subject but I did at one time have a plan.
After my Enerjet article was published in LAUNCH Magazine I thought I would write a series of history articles concerning hobby rocket companies that had closed.
The first up was Cox Hobbies.
I had completed a full outline for an article and written the introduction when I was pulled into some other project.
Before I could finish the Cox article LAUNCH magazine closed up shop.
I was disappointed because Mark Mayfield was an excellent editor and had worked with me to make my Enerjet article better than it was originally written.
A few months later I stumbled onto some additional information about Cox and realized I would need to revise my article before submitting it anywhere else for publication but never proceeded any further.
I have file boxes full of stuff about dozens of rocket companies big and small.
There is some fun material in those boxes...
