G. Harry Stine (March 26, 1928 - November 2, 1997) is widely regarded as the father of model rocketry. Although he did not invent the hobby - that distinction goes to Orville Carlisle - he popularized it and made it into an organized hobby. He founded the National Association of Rocketry, serving as its president for a time, and authored the authoritative text "Handbook of Model Rocketry". He also helped found the first firm to sell model rocket kits to the public. Wikipedia
