Pictures from a weekend out on the lake at my house in Aitkin , MN. August 7 and 8, 2010.
Please excuse the quantity and repetitive nature of the pictures in this batch/upload. I've done that to share the photos with those in them.
1974- The Tower editors hosted a get-together of Prep Driver's Ed teachers for an afternoon of anecdotes to form the foundation of the yearbook's feature on Prep students' shared experience of learning how to drive. Senior editor Steve Auth, who had come to the Prep from St. Benedicts when it closed suddenly in 1972, moderated the discussion with Wrestling Coach Fred Pierro (l) and dean of faculty Sal Caprio (r). The latter's most memorable lesson ran amok when he drove with a student down to Newark, left him at curbside ("I'll just be a minute") while he entered a store on an errand for the headmaster, emerging to discover "Murphy" had been forced by the cops to move on, leaving Sal stranded and the student (unlicensed!) meandering around the warren of one-way streets in the city trying to find his way back to campus. Once rescued Sal's colleagues did not let him forget it.
This is Velo Orange's Grand Cru threadless bottom bracket, fresh out of the box. Notice that rather than threaded cups that slide together, this has threadless cups that thread together. As you thread the two pieces tighter together, the aluminum expansion sleeves slide up the slightly tapered cups, locking the bracket into place. Most people recommend greasing the threads, the cups underneath the expansion sleeves and the expansion sleeves, so we'll do all that before insertion.
Building motors, wiring up the electronics, and packing the parachutes…
A missing o-ring in the yellow G64 motor Erik is assembling here will create some trouble later in the day.
Tom is explaining his custom-built L3 carbon-fiber and titanium nose cone with integrated drogue-chute cannon. A custom ammonium nitrate charge shoots the inner cylinder of the nose cone forward for high-altitude parachute deployment.

At some point, it may have been 1982, we thought it would be the height of hilarity to dress as preppies during a weekend of debauchery. I had to borrow a Lacoste shirt and overcome deep moral issues in order to put it on; what those may have been is lost to time.
We all also had preppie nicknames for the weekend. I know there was at least a Muffy and a Scooter, probably a Biff and a Buffy as well.
Joe Brady, me with an unfortunate and short-lived Beatle haircut, Danny, and Mark. Danny is sporting the "Report" magazine rubber-stamp tattoo that was all the rage at the time, at least in our apartment.
