To my dear friends and fellow TRF members...

To my dear friends and fellow TRF members,

I've been away for some time taking care of my soon to be 86 year old Grandfather whom had a stroke back in April. He's slowing coming back to his old self, but I fear he won't ever fully recover from that event. So, please know I'm still here, though my active involvement in rocketry has been reduced because of current commitments.

Not a day goes by that I don't marvel at your ongoing projects and designs here at TRF, and I take a few minutes everyday to gaze with pride at my completed Sandman Little Joe 2 with my scratch-built tower. I read about each of your projects and see them as a beacon of enjoyment to brighten my days, and look to each of you as a friend in a life long passion for the perfect flight.

In closing, I just wanted to say Thank You for having a place like TRF to come to and just be myself, that is ... a wide eyed child filled with wonder and awe staring up at the heavens, dreaming of all the endless possibilities. You are why I'm still a member here.

So please TRF ... don't ever change who you are.

I'd like to wish each of you a Happy Holiday, and may you and yours be safe from the troubles of the world.

With deep admiration,
Silverleaf

Silverleaf, I wish you and your family a Happy Holiday and a healthy and happy new year. Taking care of an aging, ill relative is a tough job, but is a worthy endeavor. Especially enjoy the time you have with him as best you can.
