[Spridgets] Rocket scientists and Hyper Lube

[Lester]

Dear ol' Dad was a flight surgeon, worked on Mercury, Gemini, and a  
few Apollo, they sent him out to the middle of nowhere to tracking  
stations.   Until someone tossed it out of the house I had autographed  
pics of the early astronauts as well as every patch from Mercury to  
Apollo.  I built models of all the rockets, LEM, etc.  Didn't use  
those nasty solid fuel Estes, I used the Vashon (?) rockets, they used  
propane I think.  They did NOT work at all well in Alaska where it was  
so damn cold that the Propane didn't expand..  no flame, just  
expanding gas to make 'em work..
