Folks I'm looking for Sept./Oct. 2001 issue of Sport Rocketry, as it has a couple pictures of a local rocketeer that passed away suddenly at a young age of 44. The local fliers are trying to put together a collection of rocketry photos and memorabilia for Karl's family and I'd like to include this issue of SR (my copy is a bit to ratty for this purpose). If you have a copy in good condition that you would be willing to part with, please e-mail me at johnlyngdal[at]tekcom
Thank you,
John
A big "Oh Duh!" on my part.
Thanks!
John
Do you want me to scan the page?
Folks it's all been taken care of. Thank you for helping out.

OLdest scam in the book
I wish it were a scam, as Karl was a friend, a heck of a nice guy who built museum quality airframes. Here's the obituary and the URL to it:
Now be nice.
