Model Forum / General / Rockets / December 2004

I'd like to beg your indulgence for just a moment.

The recent magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resultant tsunami in
southern Asia has been utterly devastating.  The UN is saying
that this will be the largest relief effort ever mounted.

The death toll today stands at just over 44,000, but I fully
expect it to climb very much higher.  It nearly doubled
overnight, from 24,000.  I expect that the secondary deaths due
to disease, hunger, and exposure will cause the figure to
climb towards 100,000.

Events like this remind us that we live on a small, vulnerable
planet, and that at some level, we are all brothers and sisters
huddled together for warmth and security against a hostile
and unpredictable universe.

Propulsion Polymers has made a modest $100.00 donation to the
Red Cross to help with relief.

I would ask other vendors and hangers-on in this forum to look into
their
hearts and see if they can donate to the relief effort also.
Thank you for your time
