STAC Event 12/25/00: Rocket Launch

It was Christmas day and too cold for a real launch but I wanted to do something.  Glen and I decided against a big launch but I sat down with a paper towel tube and some cardboard & file cards and made a pretty good rocket.  Pat came over for dinner and we launched it.  Excellent flight but went it was lost in the woods.
