Guy B. (Burton) Meredith was good enough for my wonderful late parents and it's good enough for me. Besides I've never felt comfortable with being a trend slave and end up going an independent route.
Oddly enough I will miss Longpath, KSFreeman and Lavin.
Hawk, do you participate in amateur or model rocketry? I was one of the founding members of an amateur rocket club in high school that had some outstanding people as members and miss the whole headset and comaraderie of those brilliant minds (one of whom was killed in Viet Nam). One of the members is now doing Mars probes and the faculty advisor is still around at age 80 and acting like his 38 year old self--a regular "Mr. Chips".
