Has it been almost 4 years already? Must be, because.....
The 4th annual TRF reunion will be held at Whitakers, NC on the weekend of April 22nd and 23rd, 2006.
While the TRF admins/mods attendance list is not set in stone at this point, were pretty sure that the following TRF staff will be in attendance:
CTulanko - Carl Tulanko
KenParker - Ken Parker
MarkABrown - Mark Brown
Rocketmaniac - Randy Trotter (health permitting)
rstaff3 - Dick Stafford
PGerringer - Phil Gerringer
Bowhunter - Warren Evans - 90% probability
TRF mods and admins that can't attend the 4th annual reunion:
KermieD
eugenefl - Eugenio Cebollero
As I hear from additional mods and admins, I will edit the above list.
Most of the TRF staff will be staying at the Super8 Motel off of exit 145 of I-95. The Super8 Motel 2004 International Directory lists the motel as being in Rocky Mount, NC located at I-95 exit 145 and Swift Creek Road. The business card that I picked up out of the lobby of the motel lists the motel as being at 7522 Goldrock Road, Battleboro, NC. The direct phone numbers for the motel from the directory and off of the business card are the same and are (252) 442-8075 / Fax (252) 442-8075 (yes, the phone and fax numbers are the same). The toll free reservations line for Super8 is 1-800-800-8000. Sometimes you can get a discount by mentioning that you are staying in association with the model rocket launch scheduled for the weekend but you better call the direct hotel number if you are going to try that.
Here is a web site that will provide you with information about the Whitakers launch site.
https://www.colonialvirginiahpr.org/whitakers.html
The web site also contains directions, information on alternate motels, etc. The standard FAA waiver is for 8,000. There is a call-in provision for activating a 12,000 waiver for 30 minutes. If you are planning on using that provision, please notify one of the prefects in advance. Contact information for the prefects is available from the web site.
If enough people are interested, we will try to arrange a group dinner for Friday night. Previously we have held the dinner at Mamas Pizza and Italian Restaurant. Good pizza, Italian dishes, subs, etc. If you are interested in meeting for dinner Friday night, please leave a reply to this post so that we can get some kind of count for making a reservation.
Hope to see yall there!
