Some of you may know I am the designer of the ROC logo, and subsequently created the 10th year version if the logo and shirts for the 10th year ROCstocks and there really wasn't a theme other than the slogan I created for the shirt that stated "Looking Back on 10 Years of Looking Up" to reminisce about the first decade. This twentieth year, I would propose we do a little of the same (since that's what anniversaries are for) but in a way to note the changes in our hobby. Things that were done in our first decade, how those same things were done differently in the second, and how they might be in the upcoming third? How has our launch equipment changed and will change? The way we ran/run/will run launches. Philosophies on different construction methods. Technologies in the hobby. Also the things that haven't changed if they will or will not change in the future. I believe the simple cardboard tube, plastic nose, balsa fin, black powder motor will continue to be every child's first rocket as it was for all of us and our kids. Will we be repeating the same mistakes? On our 30th anniversary will people still be drag-separating? Will we still be striving for the same successes? Food for thought. My idea for a slogan: "20 Years, and Beyond!" -Troy =) Sent from Troy's iPhone --------------------- -- ROC-Chat mailing list roc-chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/roc-chat
