The production quality of the magazine is so high that the photo of your models is just fantastic. It looks like a commercially produced poster. I'll tell you, I don't know if I'd have the guts to have that high a resolution photo of my handiwork published in a national magazine. Just beautiful, Bob.

With regard to the article itself, any idea if any of the non-hobby rockets survived? I've seen occasional hobby Enerjets sold on Ebay but I don't recall ever seeing any of the commercial rockets offered.

Very well done. The time frame you mentioned of SSRS/Crown and Gary's company Composite Dynamics was really when I started in composite motors. Made me wish I had discovered the EnerJet motors although there was zero availability here.

I liked that you used quotes from Lee and Gary as well as a listing of your sources.
