1957

As the little boys at Cape Canaveral learn to count "to, 9, 8 ... 3, 2, 1, DAMN!!," from their fathers this twentieth edition of the '57 Rocket begins its wavering but brilliant climb into the stratosphere. Its signals from space are short but plentiful. In June Bob McCorriston and Miss Jane B. Rawlings were married. Bob is with the Industrial Relations Division of the Hawaiian Air Lines. Also married in June were Dick Norris and Miss Judith Anne Scott. Some of the ushers in the wedding were Bob Vostal and Charles Redman. Dick and his wife are living in San Diego, where the Navy is the theme of life. Miss Madeleine Johnson and Phil Anderson were married early in the summer and now live in Providence, R. I.

So the short messages from the ascending rocket end abruptly until next month when we hope to recover the nose cone and find out what happened on the short voyage. Until then may Hope and I bid you all farewell.

Skip.
