Here's a great YouTube video on the G. Harry Stine legacy - HERE
I met Mr. Stine at my first NARAM in Orlando, Florida back in 1975. He took the time to meet and talk with all the "star-struck" space modelers.
I remember he didn't turn down my offer to help him find his parachute duration model when it landed somewhere downrange in a wet swamp.
Our paths crossed again in 1977 when he was a guest at the SunCon Convention in California.
I have a few pictures pictures of Harry, but the colors haven't held up well over the years.
One is of Harry holding an Orville Carlisle rocket he called the "Little Mark".
