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!
