Love the articles and pictures. My uncle Sam Goldenberg was one of the founding partners of Comet Model Airplane and Supply. Among those who worked or were associated with the company were Carl Goldberg, Joe Konefes and Sid Axelrod (later of Top Flite Models fame). Anyway, it's great to see and read things that make a connection to my dad and uncle and to great old days. Cheers. Hi Wil:

He is number 5 (unknown) . John flew mostly rubber as I did when I qualified for the club. John was a paratrooper and prison guard in WWII. Jules Carrett, Otto Curth, John Bock , and I were all students and graduates at The Illinois Institute of Technology onn 33rd and Federal, and John and I and Frank Garcher (Mayor of a city I can't remember in Indiana) all worked at Comet Model Airplane and Supply Company on about 22nd and State Street during the war , plus serving in the armed forces. Jules and I were Navy, John was Air Force and Army. By the way, my name is "Klivans" not Klevans. I flew mostly power (Class A and B) and won the Mid-West Model Contest in 1950, Class B gas. I still have the engraved watch Charles Klivans, cklivans@att.net 1203 West Bullock Street, Denison TX 75020: 903-465-5828 I know most of the people including John Bock (deceased) as ‘UNKNOWN” in the 1943 picture.
