This has nothing to do with rotary engines but for all
you RC model fans out there this pictures was taken
about 1952. I found an old collection of negatives
and had them scanned.

It was a field meeting of the District of Columbia RC club of which I
was a 17 year old teenage member. The guy in the pith helmet with his
back to us is Dr. Walter Good the inventor of the radio controlled
airplane pre WW II. The girl facing the camera is
my sister Louise. To the right of her the dorky kid
looking on is me. I am standing in front of my Nash Rambler
convertible. The receivers were one or two tube super regen. Usually
rudder only control.

After all that build up then I forgot to attach the damn pic.
Sheesss.

PAUL,
How long did you live at Las Cruces New Mexico? Did you ever go to school
there?

About two weeks. I was hitch hiking across the country at age
15 and a motel owner hired me to chauffeur him to Silver
City and back once a week for medical treatment in his Nash
Ambassador. No freeways in those days.

Small world. I went to college in Silver City. Little bitty teachers
college then (ca. 1960s). Now of course, it is a **UNIVERSITY**.
Credit goes to the dumbing down of the US, and the egalitarian society
where everyone must be the same.

As I recall, they didn't have much in the way of medical facilities;
most folks needing something out of the ordinary went to El Paso or
some other large city.

Silver City did have some other attractions, some of them illegal and
or immoral.
