My sons George (12) & Henry and I launch an Estes model rocket on Henry's 7th birthday.

The posting of this image to honor Mr. Homer Hickam, Jr.
for his terrific personal story ("Rocket Boys"/aka the film "October Sky")
which has provided great inspiration to my three sons.

I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes:
"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."
- Albert Einstein

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
