Hello Chris and Samantha I am not in the HD area, but I am a BAR (born again rocketeer) and I have been back in the sport less than a year. I hope you can get the assistnce you are seeking (I am sure you will) from the ROC Group. A great bunch of people that are involved and the launch in Lucerne last weekend was a huge success due to the efforts of the members. If ever down in the Beaumont/Banning/Pal Springs area, let me know, I am always up for rocket chat and sharing stories and knowledge (little I have) Terry Burnet NAR 94508 L-1 909-544-1066 From: chris_coffee@xxxxxxxxxx To: roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [roc-chat] High Desert Rocketeers Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:35:22 -0700 Hello, We are the Coffee family. We are interested in getting into the hobby of rocketry on a little higher level than what we have been doing thus far. We have only been using the Estes model rockets found at Wal-Mart and other retailers, but would like to move into something a little bit bigger. We live in the city of Barstow and would love to find someone in the High Desert area that would be willing to meet with us and spend some time discussing the different aspects of the hobby and guide us on our way to bigger and better launches. We will be joining ROC next month as Executive Members and are hoping to be able to launch at the ROCStock event. However, that will all depend on the outcome of this post and if we find someone to help us. If you or someone you know is willing to give us a hand, please contact Chris at 760-985-7075, or Samantha at 760-985-7735, or April at 760-985-2181. Thank you in advance. Chris Coffee
