Annual Request for a Date

Yes, folks, once again I have to ask for a Date or multiple Dates. I know, and fully expect the rash of humorous replies, but this is the best way to go about this.

I need dates for Rocket Events in the 2004 timeframe. Memorable Dates in Model Rocketry history. Memorable Dates in all Rocket History. These will be recorded on the 2004 EMRR Calendar.

Speaking of which, we are in the final days, so get your orders in!

What I don't have is NARCON nor LDRS for 2004.

Here are the dates I have already:

Oct 22, 2004 will be the 40th anniversary of Bob's first flight. Seems note worthy to me. ; )

This is a duplicate!

1963, not 1961.

Just 10 days before my first model rocket flight!
