2009, 1959: Rocket Man's Wife Writes

The young rocket man kneeling in the picture on the left (click here for a larger version) spent his career in aerospace, according to his wife, who kindly wrote a note on the earlier post, which I will reproduce here:

After he built the rocket described in this story, Doug Seaton spent a lifetime in aerospace--first serving as a radar officer during two tours of duty in Vietnam, then managing electronics labs for the Air Force in Europe and the U.S. In civilian life, he developed radar for the B-1 bomber and set up the original manufacturing facilities for DirecTV's satellite receivers. And 22 years ago next month, he married me.
