With the Space Crew united, how could all of our Astroiills fa i I to fo lIow ? They did fo lIow - - • . Did I again hear that word "Space"? That required space-age thinking and planning. For every space, activity, there must be clear, thoroughj and concise brifing. ' Briefing of our 1961'-68 program and activities began at the 1967 State Convention in "ark City.
