While visiting my parents on the 4th of July weekend, I attended the 1st launch of the SouthEast Rocketry
Association (SERA). My friend Rob, his son, his nephew, and I were among the first to arrive at the field
near Ringgold, GA. Even though I had to leave about 1 PM, we still put a few modrocs up into the blue...
