The Program - [Why were we here ?]

Now I know what you're thinking ! What in the world does a rocket belt flight have to do with the 132nd annual business meeting of the "Boston Society of Natural History" ? An excellent question ! I suspect politics played a significant role (The rumor was Rep. Tip O'Neal).

 An even more extreme example is the 7/1/62 demo during half time at a local soccer game in Windsor, Ontario - and even then - we shared the half time 'spotlight' with a bike race !

"Ours is not to reason why -
Ours is just to go and fly !"      Hal Graham / 1/29/01
