SILVERCUP ROCKET
FINDS A NEW HOME

I'm happy to report to all of the Cadets that The Rocky Jones Silvercup Bread Rocket is now at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo here in Michigan. I am very excited about the prospect of having the old girl restored by a group of world-class experts, including yours truly. They are even going so far as to restore an International Harvester Truck (hopefully the same model that pulled the Rocket in the first place) to be used with the display and taking the Rocket on tours of schools. Just think about it, after all these years it will be going on tours again~

Kalamazoo????

Hahaha.... I'll give 'em 6 months before it comes up missing.....

... and ends up in the back yard of a particularly well loved, Robot-building Gnome from this board. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Wow, rockets were quite a promotional gimmick back then, eh? An early example of marketing to adults throught their kids.

I just might have to become a Solar Guard Cadet. [img]wink.gif[/img]

BTW-Baimun, If I could figure out a way... [img]wink.gif[/img]

"Honest honey... it's a propane tank. We'll get a heating credit back on our taxes!"
