I am friends with Fred on FB, and I could swear I saw him reply to someone's post on a FB Rocketry Group in the past couple weeks. But he has not posted directly on FB for a long time, as far as I could tell.

I just messaged with Fred on FB. He is fine. Just busy with NAR stuff and not on the forums much lately. Good to hear.

As Fred would ask, what did he say when you called him?

Just put out a little bait and he will appear. Call the old 2" paper streamer material "crepe paper" and he will suddenly appear!
