Our group has a large base of EX motor makers, I will send you our schedule once we finalize it. You’ll have to promise to drag Mark out with you too and bring some motors if you got any ready, we can shoot the s&it and fly some rockets too.Greetings! I certainly do have lots of old stories.

No, Francis Graham is #1.I believe Francis Graham's number is 4.
Francis, Ken Good, and Tom Blazazin were the Pittsburgh kids back in the 60’s that started Tripoli. I think Tom is number 3, not sure what number Ken is.No, Francis Graham is #1.

Yessir! Will do! I’ll get my buddy Mark to tag along. He’s the brains of our outfit. Mark designs them.

According to the membership listing, dated 11/00, he is number 4, unless his number was changed or there are 2 Francis Grahams.No, Francis Graham is #1.
You bring motors and I’ll bring rockets, Would love to let a L-911 rip the sky open.Yessir! Will do! I’ll get my buddy Mark to tag along. He’s the brains of our outfit. Mark designs them. I make ‘em.
Perhaps we’ll have some motors to pass around…
Bingo Al...Pretty Sure TRA #1 was JP O'conner.
As for older Reaction Labs / Solid Motor Company motors...... here''s photo of my LOC Custom K-Load, at the very last RATS launch. L911 came apart aprox 1800 feet at Mach 1.3....... heavy duty motors.
( side note: if I remember correctly, the Tripoli certified ' Solid Motor Company' motors Don made were, at the time, the highest certified propellant ISP )
I guess it’s how you define Tripoli, Francis basically founded Tripoli in 1964, along with Curt Hughes, Al Bower, and Ken Good. Tripoli National as we know it today was established in 1986 with JP being president, Mark Weber being VP Tom Blazazin being secretary and Francis being treasurerBingo Al...

Then, perhaps TRA official history/membership numbers should be changed to reflect such. Some years ago, I thought there was a TRA published historical document. However, looking through my files I can't find it.I guess it’s how you define Tripoli, Francis basically founded Tripoli in 1964, along with Curt Hughes, Al Bower, and Ken Good.

Hence 1,2,3,4.
Ken Good provided an excellent update of Tripoli history on the website.Some years ago, I thought there was a TRA published historical document. However, looking through my files I can't find it.
Darn - just down the street a bit too - would have joined up if there was an internet then and word could get out...Francis, Ken Good, and Tom Blazazin were the Pittsburgh kids back in the 60’s that started Tripoli. I think Tom is number 3, not sure what number Ken is.
That's what I was looking for..Thanks...Ken Good provided an excellent update of Tripoli history on the website.
