A High Flying Event
A High Flying Event
To the Editor:
St Rose Cub Scout Pack 570 had its annual rocket launch this past Sunday. Michael Salvatore oversaw the event, as he has for the past few years. Mr Salvatore makes sure the boys learn about basic safety rules when flying rockets, and he also is very enthusiastic about explaining rocketry to the boys. We had a total of eight successful launches, with some boys setting off more than one.
We had a decent turnout with the weather, and had a good day to launch. There was very little wind to blow the rockets around as they landed.
Our sincere thanks go out to Pack Master Jeff DePinto and his wife, Michelle, for their energy and coordination of this, and also to Mike Salvatore, who brings a huge amount of knowledge and patience in the art of rocket building and launching. Thank you also to the parents who helped the boys in building the rockets, and bringing them out.
