The following is a letter of thanks from Pack 986 for the club's involvement and assistance:

The Boy Scouts of America

Mr. Bruce Weidner
St. Louis Rocketry Association

Dear Sir:

I would like to thank the St. Louis Rocketry Association and in particular Chris Gillham and Bob Potter for making a presentation on rocketry at our monthly cub scout pack meeting on March 18th, 1998.

The scouts thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and were fascinated with the rockets they brought.  Our pack subsequently held it's first rocket launch on March 28th with Chris and Bob conducting the launches.  Needless to say it was a huge success with approximately 60 successful lift off's!

We in Pack 986 thank the St. Louis Rocketry Association for enlightening us about the world of rocketry.  A special thanks go to Chris Gillham and Bob Potter for taking time away from their schedules to attend our meeting and rocket launch.

Sincerely,

Alan L. Bodeman
