Vale, Allan. He was also the leader of a movement to repopularize ground
launching, issuing his "Ground Launch Newsletter" ca 1983 and organizing
ground launch seminars at the 1984 Hartford and 1986 Philadelphia SSA
Conventions. Ward Hindman (Colorado SA) and I (Sandhill SC, MI) were among
presenters at the latter and Allan inspired me to draft an index of ground
launch articles and issue a "rules of thumb" summary published in the
SHApTalk newsletter.
