Coincidentally, the guy who NAMED the L.I.A.R.S., my cousin George, is snoozing in my guest room. He took the Amtrak out from NYC for a visit.

George isn't a rocketeer, but he came to the first get-together of Long Island high power folks in 1989, and coined the acronym (Long Island Advanced Rocketry Society) on the fly.

We were a pretty active Prefecture for about five years, before the fields on LI started to dry up.

Rich wasn't as active a flyer as others. His friend Mitch Pines, another early-days rocketeer, flew more frequently. He'd bring old Coaster kits to launches!
