Wow! Great people and a great birthday present!
Someone found one of my lost rockets from last week and contacted me. I met with them this afternoon and all they'd take as a reward was a venti iced coffee! It was my MultiRoc sustainer (I already found the booster), complete with AstroCam still attached. In addition, since they live behind the park, they told me how to get into the area behind the fence, so that I can look for my Sky Ferry, and they'd also keep an eye out for it. This being my birthday, what a great present!
And for kickers, one of them had grown up in Colorado and in 6th grade they all went to the Estes factory, got a tour, bought and flew rockets, how cool is that?
There is hope for mankind. (and rockets).
