Looking for Bob Cooke:

Bob Cooke was a control-line flier who lived in the Salem, Ore., area for a number of years. When Bob moved away, he left a large amount of modeling items with Mike Hazel. It has recently been discovered that the boxes of "modeling" items includes some personal mementos and other things that most likely Bob did not intend to give away. Unfortunately, we have lost touch with Bob and don't know how to reach him to see if he would like these items returned. If anyone knows how to reach Bob Cooke, please contact Flying Lines and we will pass the information along.
